Fully install light bulbs and any

parts used to secure them. Fail-

ure to do so may result in heat

damage, fire, or water entering

the light unit. This may damage

the lights or cause condensa-

tion to build up on the lens.

■

To prevent damage or fire

●

Make sure bulbs are fully

seated and locked.
