PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
- Installation or removal of the connector must be done with the lighting switch OFF.

- To check illumination, temporarily install lamp in the vehicle. Be sure to connect power at the vehicle-side connector.

- Disassembling the HID control unit or harnesses (bulb socket harness, ballast harness) is prohibited.
