Xenon lamps*

The service life of these bulbs is very long
and the probability of a failure is very low,
provided that they are not switched on and
off an unusual number of times. If one of
these bulbs should nevertheless fail, it is
possible to continue driving with great cau-
tion using the fog lamps, provided traffic
laws in your area do not prohibit this.

Have any work on the xenon lamp
system, including bulb replacement,

carried out only by a MINI Dealer or a work-
shop that has specially trained personnel
working in accordance with the specifica-
tions of the MINI manufacturer. Due to
high voltage, there is a risk of fatal injury if
work on the xenon lamps is carried out
improperly.
