Hid Headlight Ballast

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Because the headlight system uses high voltage, be careful not to perform work with wet hands. There is a possibility of electrical shock.
CAUTION:
  • The HID headlight uses very high voltages for the lighting circuit. Make sure that the power is turned OFF before working.
  • Do not leave the headlight without a ballast and back cover for a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the headlight may affect its performance.
  1. Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
  2. Remove the headlight assembly. < Ref. to REMOVAL , Headlight Assembly. >
