The location of the bulbs in the left headlight
- A - low beam lamp,
- B - front side light lamp,
- C - high beam and fog light lamp
Before replacing the exterior light bulb, remove the ground wire from the battery. Remember that if the light bulb has just been on, it may be too hot.
Before replacing an exterior light bulb, check the appropriate electrical circuit and fuse. Do not touch the glass bulb of the lamp with bare hands. The fingerprint evaporates and is deposited on the reflector, resulting in poor lighting. Be sure to replace defective lamps with lamps of the same type. Wipe off any contact stains with a clean, lint-free cloth or alcohol.
When replacing xenon lamps, you must be very careful and careful, as a strong electric shock can be received from the power source of these lamps.
Replacement of gas discharge (xenon) lamps that can be identified by a sticker with a high voltage sign on the lamp body are not recommended to be manufactured by yourself.
Warning: H7 incandescent bulbs are pressurized and may burst during replacement, so gloves and goggles should be worn when replacing these bulbs.
