Discharge headlight bulb service warnings

To prevent electrical shock when replacing the discharge headlight bulb, dry hands thoroughly, and carry out work in an area out of rain.
When the light switch is on, approx. 25,000 V of high voltage passes through the discharge headlight bulb socket. Because of the danger of electrical shock, do not insert fingers or a circuit tester.

When the headlights are on, high voltage flows around the socket and bulb. When turning on the discharge headlights while working, always leave the headlights in the vehicle-installed condition to prevent electrical shock.

Discharge headlight control unit service warnings

Because of the danger of electrical shock, when inspecting with a circuit tester or similar device, do not inspect the discharge headlight control unit as a single unit or disassemble it.

If there are scratches or damage to the discharge headlight control unit, or it has been impacted, there may be damage despite apparent normal operation. Therefore, to prevent electrical shock or operation error, replace with new parts.
