General information
1. When replacing any lamp, keep the following points in mind:
- A) Be aware that if the light has just been turned off, the lamp may be very hot.
- b) Be sure to check the contacts of the lamp and its cartridge. Between the lamp base and the contacts of the holder there must be a clean contact of the type «metal to metal». Before installing a new lamp, remove all traces of corrosion or dirt.
- V) In cases where lamps with bayonet sockets are used (see «Specifications») be sure to check the tightness of contact between the lamp base and the cartridge contacts.
- G) Before installing a new lamp, be sure to check its power. Make sure the lamp is clean. This is especially true for headlight/fog lamps (see below).
