Replacing components

Do not remove the covers, and never
stare into the unfiltered light for several

hours, as irritation of the retina could result.

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.

Have work on the xenon lighting system
performed only by your BMW center or a

workshop that works according to BMW repair
procedures with correspondingly trained per-
sonnel. Due to the high voltage present in the
system, there is a danger of fatal injuries when
work is carried out improperly.
