Hazard

The headlight bulb socket has an improper structure. Depending on how the rubber cover is installed, contact between the bulb and socket may be insufficient. Continued use in this state can cause arcing at the contact points due to vibration, damaging the contacts. In the worst case, the headlight low beam may fail to illuminate.
