WARNING: The halogen bulb contains gas under pressure. The bulb may shatter if the glass envelope is scratched or if the bulb is dropped. Handle the bulb only by its base. Avoid touching the glass envelope. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

Contaminants may enter the fog lamp where they can settle on the lens and reflector. Never turn the fog lamps on with the bulb removed.

Make sure the ignition switch and the headlamp switch are in the OFF position.

With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING & LIFTING .
