When replacing bulbs, install only 12 volt bulbs with the specified watt rating. When replacing halogen bulbs do not touch glass portion of bulb with bare hands. Use plain paper or a clean cloth. Warning! Because of high voltage in Xenon lamps, it is dangerous to replace the bulb of repair the lamp and its components. We recommend that you have such work done by a qualified technician.
