    Halogen bulbs contain a gas under pressure. Handling a bulb improperly could cause it to shatter into flying glass fragments. To help avoid personal injury:

    • Turn off the headlamp switch and allow the bulb to cool before changing bulbs. Leave the headlamp switch off until the bulb change is complete.
    • Always wear eye protection when changing a halogen bulb.
    • Handle the bulb only by its base. Avoid touching the glass.
    • Do not drop or scratch the bulb. Keep moisture away.
    • Place the used bulb in the new bulb's carton and dispose of it properly. Keep halogen bulbs out of the reach of children.
