Volkswagen Golf Variant / Jetta. Manual - part 480

 

 

• Turn off the ignition and all electrical consumers and re‐

move the ignition key.

• When working on headlamp system, ensure all compo‐

nents are without voltage, including relieving residual volt‐

age after switching headlamps off.

• Residual voltages are discharged by switching low beam

on and off again after ignition key was removed.

• Make sure lamps cannot be switched on when working on

headlamp system.

Notes on Pressure, Temperature and Radiation/Glare

WARNING

• HID Headlamp Bulb must only be operated in headlamp

housing (it offers protection against touching extremely

hot lamp, absorption of UV radiation, prevention of glare,

protection against explosion).

• The glass HID headlamp bulbs can become very hot - risk

of burning!

• Avoid looking directly into light beam, since UV radiation

of the HID lamp is approximately 2.5 times higher than that

of standard Halogen lamps.

• Avoid looking into light beam (risk of glare), it can have

lasting negative effects on vision.

WARNING

• Avoid contact with burst bulbs.
• H7 bulbs and HID bulbs are under pressure and can burst

when replaced - danger of injury!

• When removing and installing HID bulbs, always wear

safety glasses and gloves.

Caution

♦ Before replacing a HID headlamp bulb, the corresponding

electrical equipment must always be switched off.

♦ Turn off the ignition and all electrical consumers and re‐

move the ignition key.

♦ Do not touch an HID headlamp bulb with bare hands, use

clean gloves. The remaining fingerprint would evaporate

due to the heat of the operated HID headlamp bulb and

condense on the reflector which would impair headlamp

luminosity.

♦ An HID headlamp bulb must be replaced with an HID

headlamp bulb of the same version. Bulb identification can

be found on bulb socket or glass cone.

♦ Harness connectors must engage correctly when installed

and must be checked for proper connection.

Disposal Regulations for HID Headlamp Bulbs

WARNING

• HID lamps must be disposed of as hazardous waste, nev‐

er dispose of HID lamps via domestic waste.

• HID lamps contain metallic mercury (Hg) and traces of

thallium, they must not be destroyed.

• These components must be returned for proper recycling

in accordance with national legislation.

• Dispose of only in the designated containers at the re‐

sponsible collection point.
