Lamps and bulbs

The lamps and bulbs make essential contri-
butions to the safety of your vehicle. There-
fore, comply fully with the following instruc-
tions during bulb replacement. If you are
not familiar with the procedures, BMW rec-
ommends that you have your BMW center
carry out the work.

Do not touch the glass portion of
a new bulb with your bare hands

since even small amounts of impurities
burn in to the surface and reduce the ser-
vice life of the bulb. Use a clean cloth,
paper napkin or a similar material, or hold
the bulb by its metallic base.

<

A replacement bulb set is available from
your BMW center.

Before working on the electrical sys-
tem, switch off the electrical acces-

sory you are working on or disconnect the
cable from the negative terminal of the bat-
tery. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in short circuits.
To prevent injuries and damage, always
comply with any instructions provided by
the bulb manufacturer.

Accessing the headlamps

Protective cover in the wheel well

To gain access to the headlamp covers,
turn the front wheels in the required direc-
tion.
