My 2012 drivers side headlight is blinking on/off at 100k mi. The replacement process looks well thought out and doesn't require tools. Pretty nice, although I haven't replaced the bulbs yet lol. Search results were showing people with bad bulbs. I was going with the Sylvania D3S linked here and replace both bulbs.
The window sticker says it has Xeon lamps and according to the service manual I need D3S Xeon. I found this one at my local parts store but it is 12 volt and the manual is saying the Xeon system generates 28,000 volts so I guess it isn't generating that much voltage through the bulb socket. Its also saying to use gloves, goggles, don't touch the bulb and don't do the R&R when the headlights are on. Are corrective glasses good enough? Why are they saying to use goggles?
