Front Low/High Beam Headlamp — High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlamp Models

The headlamps use a high-voltage discharge tube. High voltage may remain in the circuit even when the headlamps are off and the key is removed. For this reason, do not attempt to service the headlamp bulb yourself. If a headlamp bulb fails, refer service to an authorized dealer.

On vehicles equipped with HID headlamps, the light has a bluish tint when the headlamps are on. This decreases and becomes whiter after approximately 10 seconds, while the system warms up.
