                        - 
Handle components indoors as much as possible to prevent foreign matter from entering and adhering to headlight assembly components.
 
                        - 
Do not reuse parts which have reduced fastening ability due to thread damage.
 
                        - 
Do not touch the inner surface of the lens and metallic surfaces as much as possible, or they may become dirty.
 
                        - 
Do not allow metallic surfaces to become dirty, as such surfaces become damaged even if they are only lightly wiped with a soft cloth.
 
                        - 
When installing components, make sure that the wire harness is not pinched or pulled.
 
                        - 
Do not use solvent to clean components. Only clean them with a dry cloth.
