̈ Turn bulb socket 1 counterclockwise
and pull it out.
̈ Push the bulb into socket 1, turn
socket 1 counterclockwise and re-
move it.
̈ Insert the new bulb in socket 1, push
and turn bulb socket 1 clockwise.
̈ Reinsert bulb socket 1 in lamp and

Warning!
G
Do not remove the cover for the Xenon or
Bi-Xenon* headlamp. Because of high volt-
age in Xenon and Bi-Xenon* lamps, it is dan-
gerous to replace the bulb or repair the lamp
and its components. We recommend that
you have such work done by a qualified
technician.
