REMOVAL

1. HIGH BEAM & HALOGEN TYPE LOW BEAM

CAUTION:
- Because the halogen bulb operates at a high temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface reduces the bulb's service life. Hold the flange portion when replacing the bulb. Never touch the glass portion.
- Do not leave the headlight without a bulb for a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the headlight may affect its performance.


1. Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
