Xenon lamps
- Xenon ignition unit.

When replacing xenon lamps, the following safety precautions must be observed:
- Turn off the lights.
- Turn off the ignition.
- Be sure to disconnect the power supply to the lighting system by removing the low beam headlight fuse.
- Wait at least 3 minutes to allow the lamps to cool before starting work.
Warning :
– Failure to observe safety precautions when working with xenon lamps may result in electric shock or burns.
– The xenon lamp becomes very hot during operation. Do not touch the xenon lamp with bare hands, even when it is turned off – the skin oil from your hands may damage the lamp or reduce its service life when the lamp heats up. If this does happen, wipe the lamp with methyl alcohol.
– Xenon lamps are filled with gas under high pressure. If the bulb is damaged, there is a risk of the lamp exploding, which may cause serious injury. Handle xenon lamps with care.
Note:
Xenon lamps are used only in low beam headlights. Halogen lamps are installed in high beam headlights.
