Suzuki Ciaz low beam bulb is H11 model, high beam bulb is H7 model. The steps and precautions for replacing headlight bulbs are as follows: Steps for replacing headlight bulbs: First open the engine hood and observe the layout of automotive components at the rear of the headlight. Identify the model, unscrew the lamp cover. Note the identification model of the lamp at the lower part of the headlight's outer glass. Unscrew the lamp cover, noting that removal methods may vary slightly between different vehicle models. Remove the faulty bulb and install the new one. Press the bulb with your hand, firmly pull out the socket with power cord, release the retaining clip to remove the bulb, then install the new bulb and secure it with the clip. Reassemble the headlight in reverse order. Note: When reinstalling the dust cover, ensure it's properly tightened to protect the headlight from rain and dust. Turn off the switch before replacing. Before replacing the bulb, confirm both the ignition switch and light switch are off, and ensure the bulb has cooled down. Precautions for replacing headlight bulbs: Since halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas, they require special handling. If scratched or dropped, they may explode or shatter. Therefore, only hold the plastic part or metal base of the bulb, and avoid touching the glass portion.
As someone who frequently helps friends with car repairs, I recall that the Suzuki Alivio's headlight bulbs are standard H4 type, 60/55W halogen bulbs. I've replaced them several times myself and noticed that during installation, it's important not to touch the bulb glass directly with bare hands, as oils can cause premature burnout or reduced lifespan—it's best to use professional gloves. Beyond the bulb type, I always remind car owners to check if the headlight circuit is stable, as excessive voltage can lead to early bulb failure. Routine maintenance is simple: inspect the wiring every 5,000 kilometers to prevent short circuits that could blow a fuse. Safe driving depends on it—if there's an issue with nighttime driving, get it fixed immediately; don't skimp on that expense.
