Discharge headlight connector installation note

CAUTIONIf the installation direction of the discharge headlight connector is incorrect when the connector is installed, the connector may contact the front combination light housing during the AFS operation and the AFS may not operate normally. After installing the connector to the position shown in the figure, verify that the connector does not contact the front combination light housing.
