Lights and bulbs
Lights and bulbs are an important aspect of
driving safety. They should, therefore, be han-
dled carefully. BMW recommends that any rou-
tines that you are not familiar with or that are not
described here be entrusted to BMW Service.
Do not touch the glass of a new bulb with
the fingers, because even slight amounts
of dirt or grease will then be burned into the bulb
and reduce its working life. Use a clean tissue,
cloth or similar, or hold the bulb by its base.
<
A box containing spare bulbs is available from
BMW Service.
When working on electrical systems,
always begin by switching off the con-
sumer in question, as otherwise short-circuits
could result. Observe any instructions supplied
by the bulb manufacturer, to avoid the risk of
injury or damage when changing bulbs.
