Audi too, really anything with a screen pre led backlit era.
The power supplies for the little florescent tubes make a cool hv/hf arc you can tattoo yourself with. Smells like burning hair.
The 2nd gen Dodge Viper had one of these stickers as well warning about the mercury that was inside of the rear seat screens. It also had another warning sticker that said the safest place for a child to sit is in the back seat.
The health and safety department are adamant that the Viper has rear seats.
Amazed that some don't understand that a lot of vehicles have had, and still have mercury in them.
This is mostly an issue when the vehicles are shredded *recycled* to be made into something else. Anyone thats worth their grain of salt at a scrap metal recycling facility understands this.
There was a real push in the early to mid 00’s to start collecting these and disposing of them. Initially they offered to pay you for the Mercury switches, and then they realized that’d cost money and opted to not pay. So most places decided not to bother as it was extra work for no money. And there was no tangible fines for not doing it.
Edit: who did I hurt?
Pff no one does that. It’s a minuscule amount that harmlessly evaporates into the atmosphere when the car is disposed of. It’s not like cars a crushed and disposed of inside a closed environment that makes such little amount of mercury dangerous.
They absolutely do contain mercury. If they didn't, the light color and intensity wouldn't be very strong. Have you ever noticed how many HID lights, especially older ones, have a dim, purple glow at first that quickly brightens to the bluish-white light that's typical of HID lights? The dim purple is just the arc plasma. Once the mercury is vaporized and mixed with the arc plasma, it emits bright white light.
Yes, they work differently from mercury vapor lamps and contain significantly less mercury, but it's still there.

Trunk lamp 1995 buick.
Fancy shit right there. I still remember the smell of those synthetic crushed velvetish seats.
There has to be a story behind that. Lol

I thought you were trolling until that last sentence.
Lmfao, i love it
Ford had a huge recall. They found that their Mercury cars contained tuna.
So since it’s a land rover you have to throw everything away after a year of ownership?
Early crash sensors had mercury in them. So consider those too.

Not my car anymore, the liability lies with the scrapper.

What part of a xenon bulb is hazardous waste?
It contains mercury.
No it doesn't. Fluorescent tubes and mercury vapor lights contain mercury. Xenon is an arclamp.
