Discharge Headlight Bulb Service Warnings

1. To prevent electrical shock when replacing the discharge headlight bulb, dry hands thoroughly, and carry out work in an area out of rain.
2. When the light switch is on, approx. 25,000 V of high voltage passes through the discharge headlight bulb socket. Because of the danger of electrical shock, do not insert fingers or a tester.
3. When the headlights are on, high voltage flows around the socket and bulb. When turning on the discharge headlights while working, always leave the headlights in the vehicle-installed condition to prevent electrical shock.

Discharge Headlight Control Module Service Warnings

1. Because of the danger of electrical shock, when inspecting with a tester, do not inspect the discharge headlight control module as a single unit or disassemble it.

Scheme 71

Discharge Headlight Control Module Reuse

1. If the discharge headlight control module is dented or damaged in any way, replace the module with a new one to prevent electrical shock and improper operation.
2. Although the control module may temporarily operate normally even though it has received an impact, it is possible that the interior may have been damaged. When reusing the control module, inspect the following items regarding discharge headlight illumination to verify that there are no malfunctions.

1. Verify that the discharge headlights illuminate normally by testing them several times under cold illumination (headlights off for approx. 10 min or more and then turned on) and hot illumination (headlights on for approx. 15 min or more, turned off for approx. 1 min, and then turned on again) conditions.
2. Inspect the headlight illumination in the period from directly after cold illumination until they are uniformly illuminated (approx. 5 min) and verify that there is no flickering or inconsistent brightness.
3. Turn on the headlights for approx. 30 min with normal condition bulbs and verify that there is no brightness difference between the right and left, and that illumination is consistent.

Discharge Type

Scheme 72

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the fasteners, then slightly bend back the front mudguard.
3. Remove the cover. CAUTION: The discharge headlight generates extremely high heat when it is illuminated. If the surface of the discharge headlight is soiled, excessive heat will build up and the life of the discharge headlight will be shortened. When replacing the discharge headlight, hold the metal flange, not the glass.
4. Remove the connector.
5. Remove the discharge headlight.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal.

High-Beam

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the fasteners, then slightly bend back the front mudguard.
3. Disconnect the connector. CAUTION: A halogen bulb generates extremely high heat when it is illuminated. If the surface of the bulb is soiled, excessive heat will build up and the life of the bulb will be shortened. When replacing the bulb, hold the metal flange, not the glass.
4. Remove the headlight bulb.
5. Install in the reverse order of removal.

Scheme 78

1. Point the headlight beams to a wall and verify that the headlight beams are as shown in the figure.
2. Make a headlight adjustment screen as shown in the figure using double-weight, white paper.
3. Adjust the tire pressure to the specification.
4. Position the unloaded vehicle on a flat, level surface.
5. Seat one person in the driver's seat.
6. Line up the front fog lights with the white screen at a distance of 3 m {9.8 ft} apart.
7. Measure the height of the center of the headlight. NOTE: Since the height of the vehicle varies depending on the vehicle situation, measure the height of the center of the headlight using the actual vehicle.
8. Adjust the center of the adjustment screen to the point 655 mm {25.8 in}from the center of the vehicle and the measured height in the direction the headlight points, then affix the screen to the wall.
9. Start the engine and charge the battery.
10. Turn on the headlight low beams.
11. Block the light of the headlight which is not adjusted.
12. Verify that the elbow point of the headlight is at the position indicated by the adjustment screen. If the elbow point of the head light is not positioned as indicated in the adjustment screen, align the elbow point so that it is positioned as shown in the adjustment screen by turning the adjustment screw.
