Do not remove the covers or expose the
eyes directly to the unfiltered light source

for several hours; otherwise, this could cause
irritation of the retina.

Xenon lamps

These bulbs have a very long service life and are
highly unlikely to fail. If a xenon lamp fails never-
theless, switch on the fog lamps and continue
the journey with great care, provided that local
legislation does not prohibit this.

Have any work on the xenon lamp system,
including bulb replacements, performed

only by a BMW center or a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise, if
such work is carried out improperly, the high
voltage in the system presents the danger of
fatal injuries.

Access to the lamps

Switch off the lamps and take the remote
control out of the ignition lock.

Remove the upper cover from the head-
lamp. To do so, use a screwdriver to press
the catches towards the rear, see arrows,
and pull the cover forward and out.

Follow the same steps in reverse order to reat-
tach the cover.

Be careful when installing the cover; oth-
erwise, leaks could occur and cause dam-

age to the headlamp system.

Turn the wheel inwards.

Partially release the cover in the wheel well.
To do so, remove the corresponding
screws, see arrows.
