Discharge Headlight Service Warnings
-
To prevent electrical shock when replacing the discharge headlight bulb, always perform the servicing with dry hands and in an area where it does not get wet.
-
Never probe the discharge headlight bulb connector directly with a finger or tester. Otherwise, it could result in electrical shock. When the light switch is ON, high voltage of approx. 25,000 V flows the discharge headlight bulb connector.
-
When the headlights are on, high voltage flows around the discharge headlight bulb and discharge headlight bulb connector. When servicing the discharge headlights while they are illuminated, always perform the servicing with the headlights in their installed condition.
