Operation

Maintenance

SYLVANIA bulbs are designed for durability. However, like all automotive bulbs, they can dim over time. For optimal performance and consistent light output, it is recommended to replace bulbs in pairs, especially for critical lighting functions.

Troubleshooting

Bulb Not Lighting:

• Check Connection: Ensure the bulb is fully seated in its socket and the socket is securely twisted into the housing.
• Fuse Check: Verify that the corresponding fuse in your vehicle's fuse box is not blown. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for fuse locations.
• Vehicle Compatibility: Confirm that the 912 bulb is the correct type for your specific vehicle application.

Flickering or Dim Light:

• Loose Connection: Re-check the bulb and socket connections for any looseness.
• Aging Bulb: Bulbs naturally dim with age. Consider replacing both bulbs in the pair for balanced and optimal brightness.
