Headlamp: Description and Operation




The headlamps incorporate the high and low beam headlamps, the front turn indicator lamps and the side lamps.

Each headlamp is secured to the body by two screws and a nut. A rubber gasket around the periphery of the lens seals the headlamp with the body.

Clips secure the lens to the lamp housing and a rubber gasket seals the interface. The housing contains four separate bulbs:
- H1 55 W low beam headlamp bulb, retained by a spring clip
- HB3 65 W high beam headlamp bulb, retained by a spring clip
- W 5 W side lamp bulb, in a bulb holder
- PY 21 W front turn indicator lamp bulb, in a bulb holder.

Circuits integrated into the housing link all the bulbs and bulb holders to a single connector on the rear of the housing.

All bulbs, except high beam, are long life bulbs.
