 Warning

The following points must be followed when working on xenon headlamps:

Work on the headlamp assemblies should only be carried out by authorised service workshops.

All work must be carried out according to the instructions provided and with all necessary care. Risk of personal injury if handled improperly.

The ignition must always be in LOCK position when replacing components.

Faulty internal leads in the headlamp assemblies must be replaced in their entirety and not repaired.

Power to the headlamp assembly must be cut off by unplugging the connector before starting work on it.

Under no circumstances may power be supplied to the headlamp assembly if its protective cover is off.

The xenon lamp must not be turned on without being correctly fitted in the headlamp assembly with its protective cover in place.

Always use protective goggles and gloves when handling the xenon lamp as it is highly pressurised.

The xenon lamp contains mercury and must therefore be turned in for destruction.
