XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
● When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an electric
shock, never attempt to modify or disas-
semble. Always have your xenon headlights
replaced at an INFINITI retailer.
● Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional headlights. If
they are not correctly aimed, they might
temporarily blind an oncoming driver or the
driver ahead of you and cause a serious acci-
dent. If headlights are not aimed correctly,
immediately take your vehicle to an INFINITI
retailer and have the headlights adjusted
correctly.

When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize.
●The life of xenon headlights will be shortened
by frequent on-off operation. It is generally
desirable not to turn off the headlights for
short intervals (for example, when the ve-
hicle stops at a traffic signal). Even when the
daytime running lights are active (Canada
only), the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon headlights is
not reduced.
● If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burn-
ing out, the brightness will drastically de-
crease, the light will start blinking, or the
color of the light will become reddish. If one
or more of the above signs appear, contact an
INFINITI retailer.
