Information
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance in comparison to halogen bulbs.
HID lamps are estimated to last twice
as long as halogen bulbs, or longer, by
the manufacturer, depending on the
usage hours. HID lamps needs to be
replaced at some point within the
vehicle life. Frequent turning the
headlamps ON and OFF shortens the
HID lamps life. HID lamps do not
blow out in the same manner as halo-
gen incandescent lamps. When a
headlamp blows out after a period of
operation, the lamp light gradually
fades away after being turned ON.
Even when the lamp is turned ON by
turning ON the switch, it needs to be
replaced. The HID lamp components
are more complex than the ones of
conventional halogen bulbs. Thus, the
repairing costs are more expensive.

it. Then, carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection while replacing a bulb. If hot, cool
down the bulb before han-
dling it.
