HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY(for Halogen Headlight) DISASSEMBLY

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Handle components indoors as much as possible to prevent foreign matter from entering and adhering to headlight assembly components.

  • Do not reuse parts which have reduced fastening ability due to thread damage.

  • Do not touch the inner surface of the lens and metallic surfaces as much as possible, or they may become dirty.

  • Do not allow metallic surfaces to become dirty, as such surfaces become damaged even if they are only lightly wiped with a soft cloth.

  • When installing components, make sure that the wire harness is not pinched or pulled.

  • Do not use solvent to clean components. Only clean them with a dry cloth.

    4. Remove the headlight lens LH:

      Note


      • Perform work using clean rubber gloves.

      • Do not touch the inner surface of the lens and metallic surfaces as much as possible, or they may become dirty.

      • Do not allow metallic surfaces to become dirty, as such surfaces become damaged even if they are only lightly wiped with a soft cloth.

      Tech Tips


      • The connection between the headlight lens LH and headlight housing is extremely tight. Therefore, make sure to use the following method of using a dryer to warm and soften the headlight lens gasket to separate the headlight lens LH and headlight housing.

      • With the headlight lens LH slightly lifted, cut the headlight lens gasket and separate the headlight lens LH.


      1. Using a dryer, warm the headlight lens gasket from the backside of the headlight assembly LH at the separation starting point of the headlight lens LH and headlight housing.

        Note

        If the headlight assembly LH is heated unevenly, it will deform or melt.

        Tech Tips


        • If the headlight lens LH cannot be lifted, even after heating, using a screwdriver, lift the headlight lens LH.

        • Tape the screwdriver tip before use.
