PRECAUTION FOR HID HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
When any defects such as deformation, cracks, dents, chipping, etc. are identified on the HID headlight (especially, on the light control ECU), replace it with a new one.
Even if the operation seems to be normal, the fail-safe function may be defective.
Since the bulb of the HID headlight has pressurized gas inside and can easily be broken if scratched or dropped, special care should be taken. When handling the bulb, hold the plastic or metal part and do not touch the glass part with bare hands.
When the HID headlights illuminate, a high voltage (approximately 22000 V) is applied momentarily to the bulb sockets. Never connect a tester to the high voltage socket of the HID headlight for measurement, as this may result in a serious accident because of high voltage.
When servicing the HID headlight, do not allow the HID headlight to come into contact with water. Turn off the light control switch and disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and the connector of the light control ECU in advance to avoid electric shocks.
When performing an operation related to the HID headlight, operate it after assembling has been finished and never turn on the lights without a bulb installed.
Do not turn on the HID headlight using a power source other than the vehicle battery.
PRECAUTION FOR HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
If even a thin film of oil is left on the surface of the HID headlight bulb or halogen bulb, its service life will be shortened because the light will burn at a higher temperature. When replacing a bulb, be sure to hold the flanged part of the light so that your hand will not contact the glass part of the light.
As the internal pressure of the HID headlight bulb and halogen bulb is high, dropping, hitting or damaging the bulb may result in it exploding and shattering.
Always prepare a new bulb for immediate replacement. While replacing the bulb, the lens may attract dust and moisture if removed from the vehicle for a long time.
Always replace a bulb with another bulb of the same wattage.
If only replacing the bulbs on one side, differences in brightness and lighting color between the right and left sides may occur.
Securely install the socket after bulb replacement. The lens may become cloudy or the light cavity may be filled with water through gaps around the socket if it is not installed securely.
Do not break the HID headlight bulb when disposing of it as shards of glass may fly off and cause injuries.
As the HID headlight bulb cannot be determined to be defective or not by checking it visually, check it by replacing the bulb with a normally functioning one.
