2. Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety warnings before handling or installing the bulbs. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or damage to your vehicle.
- Electrical Hazard: Always disconnect the vehicle's battery before attempting any electrical work to prevent electric shock.
- Hot Surfaces: Headlight bulbs become extremely hot during operation. Allow the headlight assembly to cool completely before handling.
- Eye Protection: Wear appropriate eye protection when working on your vehicle.
- Handle with Care: Avoid touching the glass part of the bulb with bare hands. Oils from your skin can create hot spots, leading to premature bulb failure. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth.

- Test the bulb in another working headlight socket if possible, or test the socket with a known working bulb.
- Dim Light Output:
- Ensure the correct wattage bulb (55W) is installed.
- Check for dirty or hazy headlight lenses that may be obstructing light.
- Verify the vehicle's charging system is providing adequate voltage.
