Xenon lamp, dangerous?

I'm trying to change the xenon light. Everywhere around it is written "dangerous, 25.000 V"! Can I touch the bulb if the lights are off, right? It's dangerous only with the lights on... I hope.

yea just have gloves on and some sort of eye wear and dont touch it if it just was on recently. Glass can be bad if u have a kung fu grip on them so its always good to be extra precautions.

i never touch the glass part regardless. the oils on your fingers or dirt can cause them to burst when heated up.

The high voltage is for turning the lights on, with a minimal draw after the fact.

With the car off you should be fine.
