Note: Do not touch the glass bulbs/gas discharge lamps during installation. Your fingers may leave greasy marks on the bulb/gas discharge lamp, which evaporate when the incandescent lamp is switched on and cause the bulb to become cloudy. Ensure that the seals on the plastic covers are correctly positioned and that the cover is seated correctly. Water getting inside may destroy the headlights. The LED module is integrated into the headlight and cannot be replaced separately. If the module is faulty, replace the headlight.
