Do not touch the glass of new bulbs with your
bare hands, as even minute amounts of con‐
tamination will burn into the bulb's surface and
reduce its service life.
Use a clean tissue, cloth or something similar, or
hold the bulb by its base.◀

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs)

Light-emitting diodes installed behind a cover
serve as the light source for controls, display el‐
ements and other equipment.
These light-emitting diodes, which are related
to conventional lasers, are officially designated
as Class 1 light-emitting diodes.

Do not remove the covers
Do not remove the covers, and never stare

into the unfiltered light for several hours; other‐
wise, irritation of the retina could result.◀

Headlamp glass

Condensation can form on the inside of the ex‐
ternal lamps in cool or humid weather. When the
light is switched on, the condensation evapo‐
rates after a short time. The headlamp glasses
do not need to be changed.
If there is a large amount of moisture, e.g., water
droplets form in the lamp, have it checked by
your service center.

Xenon headlamps

Because of the long life of these bulbs, the like‐
lihood of failure is very low. Switching the lamps
on and off frequently shortens their life.
If a xenon bulb fails, switch on the front fog lamps
and continue the trip with great care. Comply
with local regulations.

Do not perform work/bulb replacement on
xenon headlamps

Have any work on the xenon lighting system, in‐
cluding bulb replacement, performed only by an
authorized dealership.
Due to the high voltage present in the system,
there is the danger of fatal injuries if work is car‐
ried out improperly.◀
For checking and adjusting headlamp aim,
please contact your BMW center.
