To remove a bulb:

The headlights on your vehicle use
replaceable bulbs. When the light burns
out, simply replace the bulb, rather than
the whole light.

WARNING

Handling Halogen Bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurized gas. If one is broken, it
will explode and serious injuries
could be caused by the flying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with
bare hands, body oil could cause the
bulb to overheat and explode when
lit. Never touch the glass portion of
the bulb with your bare hands and
always wear eye protection when
handling or working around halo-
gen bulbs.

WARNING

Children and Halogen Bulbs:
Playing with a halogen bulb is dan-
gerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb
or breaking it some other way.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of
the reach of children.
