    NOTE: Be careful not to be damaged when disconnecting the ballast connector.
  5. Installation is the reverse of removal.
    NOTE:
    • Turn the head lamp switch off to avoid high voltage.
    CAUTION:
    • HID lamp shall not be used on other cars. (Fire may occur.)
    • Fire may occur when HID lamp initially lights due to the fact that arc-discharge generates high voltage (max. 20, 000V) and high current (12-13A), and are different from the halogen lamp specification.
    • Install the dust cover after confirming the locking state between bulb and bulb holder.
    • When testing the HID head lamp, turn the power on or off with switch between power supply and lamp because of high voltage.
    • Do not operate the head lamp switch with the bulb not installed, because it generates spark momently.
