that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage
than glass headlights.

different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
•To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses
and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap
solution followed by rinsing.
•Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents,
steel wool or other abrasive materials to clean the
lenses.Headlight Switch
