and with the specified watt rating.


Switch lights off before changing a bulb
to prevent short circuits.

handling bulbs.


Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.


If the newly installed bulb does not light

low the lamp to cool down before changing
a bulb.

Because of high voltage in Xenon lamps, it is
dangerous to replace the bulb or repair the
lamp and its components. We recommend
that you have such work done by a qualified
technician.
