DESCRIPTION

When you encounter a concern where the bulb (1) in the climate control unit (2) needs to be removed or replaced, make sure to install the bulb correctly. If not installed correctly, the bulb will generate excessive heat due to an insufficient connection, and may fail in a couple of months.

For a correct installation, rotate and align the bulb socket with the two markings on the climate control unit.

NOTE: When you remove the bulb, you can identify whether the bulb was installed correctly or not by looking at the plastic covering over the bulb. If the bulb was installed incorrectly, the plastic covering will look distorted. Make sure to install the bulb correctly.
