Xenon headlights
The operating life of these light units is
extremely long and the likelihood of fail-
ure very low, provided that they are not
switched on and off a very great
number of times. If a xenon headlight
should nonetheless fail, switch on the
fog lights and continue the journey with
great care, provided that local legisla-
tion does not prohibit this.
Always have work on the xenon
lights, including bulb changes,
carried out by BMW Service, or a work-
shop employing trained personnel and
working to the specifications issued by
BMW. On account of the high voltage
there is a danger to life if work is not
carried out correctly.
