PROCEDURE
PRECAUTION
Note
Be sure to read Precaution thoroughly before servicing.
Handle components indoors as much as possible to prevent foreign matter from entering and adhering to clearance light 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.
