INSTRUCTION DATA PRODUCT: HID BULB REPLACEMENT VER: 1.0 DATE: MARCH 2013 HID bulb rated life is 3,000 hours and since they do not have a fragile filament their resistance to vibration and shock gives far greater service life than traditional bulbs. In many cases the HID bulb never requires replacement and lasts for the life of the product. Nevertheless, as the bulb ages the efficiency declines and it may be desirable to replace the bulb before it actually fails in order to restore full light output. Safety Warnings HID bulbs operate at high pressure and may explode at end of life. Do not operate bare bulbs, ensure reflector is fitted before illuminating. Always wear safety glasses when handling bare bulbs. Clean gloves should be worn to avoid contamination of the bulb, substances passed onto the bulb may cause early failure. Broken arc-tube: take care in handling and disposing of this lamp. If arc-tube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the contents and fragments. Danger, high voltage. Always disconnect power before servicing the light Demand Authentic Lightforce replacement bulbs, do not accept bulbs that are not packed in authentic Lightforce packaging. Contents 1 x HID Bulb in protective container 1 x Accessory kit , containing: 1 x Replacement dust water seal rubber grommet 2 x Heat shrink insulating seals 1 x Push on socket (for black negative wire) 1 x Push on plug (for red positive wire) Disassembly instructions Ensure power supply is not connected to the ballast before you begin. Unplug the wires from the rear of the light that run toward the ballast and ignitor. Remove the driving light from the vehicle by removing the cross bolt. Remove the reflector by rotating it anti-clockwise. Cut the flying lead and socket off the old bulb holder wires from the rear of the light to allow the wires to pull through the driving light arm. See fig. A Prize out the old dust water seal rubber grommet away from the arm and discard. A new grommet is supplied in the kit. See fig. B Remove the anodised bulb holder from the arm, use an M2mm Allen key to free the holder from the arm. Carefully remove the bulb and holder by working the wires through the arm. See fig. C Remove the old HID bulb away from the anodised bulb holder that is reused. Note the position of the old bulb and ensure new bulb is installed in the same location. A 2.4mm Allen key will be required. Dispose of the old bulb, pay attention to the safety warnings at the top of this sheet. Instructions for bulb replacement Fit the new bulb into the anodised bulb holder. Tighten the grub screws onto flat surface of white porcelain, making sure the top surface is flush with the alloy face. Reinstall the complete bulb and holder into the arm. Working in reverse: fit the new HID bulb holder by sliding the two cables through the throat of the arm exiting out the rear. Using the M2 hex set screw and fit the new HID bulb holder into the arm (electrode at the 12 o’clock position). See fig.

INSTRUCTION DATA PRODUCT: HID BULB REPLACEMENT VER: 1.0 DATE: MARCH 2013 It is recommended to refit the reflector at this time before proceeding (as the HID bulb is very fragile). The yellow dust seals fitted on the ends of the black and red wires must be removed to allow them to pass through the grommet. Pass terminals through the new rubber grommet by using a 1mm jewellers screw driver (or similar) to push the terminals all the way through. OLD ARM NEW ARM NOTE: THIS IS A VERY TIGHT FIT TO CREATE A COMPLETE SEAL AGAINST THE ELEMENTS. K J B Leave a 20mm gap between the top of the grommet and opening on the rear of the arm. This ensures there is no tension on the cables within the arm once it is pushed back into place. See fig. D Using a medium sized screw driver, inserted into the centre of the grommet, push up into the arm (it is recommended using a few drops of gel superglue to retain). The top of the grommet must finish flush with the arm. See fig. E, F, G M L D Place the supplied heat shrink on each cable. See fig. H 20 mm Push each cable into the high voltage connectors until the terminal ‘clicks’ into place (note the small red tab on the female plug must be protruding before it will fit). See fig. J Locate the heat shrink over the fitted connector, using a heat gun or similar, heat until the material shrinks around the connector and wire. See fig. I NOTE: THE HEAT SHRINK SUPPLIED HAS A LIQUID GEL INSIDE THAT ENSURES A PERFECT SEAL. OLD ARM G Refit WRONG light and connect toRIGHT ballast.
