BULB - FRONT TURN SIGNAL LAMP
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when working on the xenon headlamp system, be certain to take the proper precautions. The
headlamp switch must be in the OFF position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. There is a risk of death caused by contact with
high voltage used in the xenon headlamps. There is a risk of explosion or fire caused by highly flammable materials in the vicinity of damaged
xenon bulbs. There is a risk of injury caused by exposure to Ultra Violet (UV) light, a risk of burns caused by high component operating
temperatures, a risk of mercury poisoning through glass splinters produced by bursting xenon bulbs. There is also a risk of poisoning caused by
inhalation of mercury vapors and by toxic salts and mercury compounds being ingested or coming into contact with the skin. Do not come into
contact with parts that are under high voltage. Persons with active electronic implants (e.g. heart pacemakers) must never work on xenon
headlamps. Wear insulated safety shoes, safety glasses and protective gloves. Remove flammable materials and ensure sufficient ventilation in
the working area.
