Headlight/Parking Light Lamp Replacement
Hot components can cause serious burns to skin. Do not service the headlamps until they've cooled.
When servicing a halogen lamp, do not touch the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp. Hold the plastic part of the lamp.
