Attention! The halogen lamp is pressurized with gas, and if the bulb shatters, a lot of fragments fly off, so always wear safety glasses when servicing the lamps. While the lamp is in operation, protect it from being exposed to sand or scratches, and from splashing liquids on its surface. Turn on the lamp only when it is installed inside the headlight. If the headlight is damaged or cracked, replace the headlight. Keep lamps out of the reach of children and handle the used lamp carefully.
