Bulb - Xenon Headlamp

BULB - XENON HEADLAMP

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when working on the xenon headlamp system, be certain to take the proper precautions. The headlamp switch must be in the OFF position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. There is a risk of death caused by contact with high voltage used in the xenon headlamps. There is a risk of explosion or fire caused by highly flammable materials in the vicinity of damaged xenon bulbs. There is a risk of injury caused by exposure to Ultra Violet (UV) light, a risk of burns caused by high component operating temperatures, a risk of mercury poisoning through glass splinters produced by bursting xenon bulbs. There is also a risk of poisoning caused by inhalation of mercury vapors and by toxic salts and mercury compounds being ingested or coming into contact with the skin. Do not come into contact with parts that are under high voltage. Persons with active electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) must never work on xenon headlamps. Wear insulated safety shoes, safety glasses and protective gloves. Remove flammable materials and ensure sufficient ventilation in the working area.

CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the lamp, the socket or the lamp wiring.

CAUTION: Do not contaminate the bulb glass by touching it with your fingers or by allowing it to contact other oily surfaces. Shortened bulb life will result.




1. Align the xenon bulb and ignition module (1) with the keyed opening on the back of the front lamp unit reflector.
2. Insert the bulb into the reflector until the base is firmly seated. Be certain that the lugs on the bulb base are engaged in the recesses of the reflector.
3. Rotate the ignition module and bulb clockwise about 30 degrees to lock it into place.
4. Reconnect the front lamp unit wire harness connector (3) to the xenon ignition module.




5. Engage the two tabs on the bottom of the front lamp unit rear cover (2) with the two slotted brackets integral to the back of the lamp housing.
6. Swing the rear cover upward into place, then pull upward on the two latches (1) until they snap into place with an audible click.
7. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
