Replacement of lamp bulbs
4. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity
by using the fuse puller into the same
place in the fuse block.
CAUTION
Do not install commercially available LED-
type bulbs.
CAUTION
Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.

Commercially available LED-type bulbs
could adversely affect the operation of the
vehicle, such as by preventing the lamps and
other vehicle equipment from operating
properly.
The oil from your hand could cause the bulb
to break the next time the headlamps are op-
erated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be
cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc., and
refit it after drying thoroughly.
Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after
being turned off.

When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
Handle halogen lamp bulbs with care. The
gas inside a halogen lamp bulbs is highly
pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or
scratching a halogen lamp bulb can cause it
to shatter.
CAUTION
If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
l
short time, we recommend you to have the
electrical system checked to find the cause
and rectify it.

NOTE
Never use a fuse with a larger capacity than
l
specified or a substitute (such as a cable or
foil). Doing so could cause the circuit wires
to overheat and create a fire.
If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to
consult a specialist.
Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.

Replacement of lamp bulbs
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is
off. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb
gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.
