Hid Headlamp Usage And Safety Precautions: Notes
Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required
- Protective Eyewear
- Gloves
-- Note The Following if working with HID headlamps:
- Information on Dangerous High-Voltage/Currents. Refer to Notes on Hazardous High Voltage/Currents
- Information on pressure, temperature and radiation/arc. Refer to Notes on Pressure, Temperature and Radiation/Glare
- Assembly Instructions for HID Headlamp Bulbs. Refer to Assembly Notes on HID Headlamp Bulbs .
- Disposal Regulations for HID Headlamp Bulbs. Refer to Disposal Regulations for HID Headlamp Bulbs .
WARNING:
Always make sure to disconnect the battery ground cable before performing work on parts of the headlamp with a gas discharge lamp marked with yellow high voltage symbols.
Then switch the low beams on and back off. This removes any possible residual voltage.
The gas discharge lamp control module should not be operated without the gas-discharge lamp.
Due to the high voltage (over 28000 V when igniting the lamp), the gas-discharge lamp should only be operated inside the headlamp housing.
WARNING:
- Never replace bulbs if you are not familiar with the procedures, safety precautions and tools.
