Replacement of light bulbs
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.
NOTE ● If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required,
it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
● Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.
● When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes temporarily foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a functional problem. When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathers inside the light, please have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Bulb capacity
The bulb should only be replaced with a new bulb with the same rating and type. The type and rating are listed on the base of the bulb.
CAUTION! ● Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being
turned off. When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burned.
