Bulb Replacement

GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Before you replace a bulb, check the contacts to be sure they are not oxidized.

  • Replace the bulbs with the same type and wattage.

  • After replacing a light bulb, always check the correct orientation.

  • Before replacing a bulb that is not functioning, check that the fuse is intact.

Note:

Lens fogging can occur under certain atmospheric conditions. This will usually clear as atmospheric conditions change to allow the condensation to change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually accelerate the clearing process.
