High Intensity Discharge Headlights (HID)
The headlights are a type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the circuit even with the
headlight switch off and the key removed.Because of
this, you should not attempt to service a headlight bulb
yourself. If a headlight bulb fails, take your vehicle to
an authorized dealer for service.

blue hue to the lights. This diminishes and becomes more
white after approximately 10 seconds, as the system
charges.

bly on the driver side of the vehicle.

light assembly, and then turn it clockwise.
