Replacement of lamp bulbs![Replacement of lamp bulbs - For emergencies - Mitsubishi Carisma Owner's Manual - Mitsubishi Carisma](images/pages/big/2.png)
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapor will condense on the reflector and dim the surface.
Bulb capacity
A bulb should only be replaced with a new bulb of the same rating and type. The designation can be found on the base of the bulb.
