Lamps and bulbs

The lamps and bulbs are essential factors
contributing to the safety of your vehicle.
Therefore, comply fully with the following
instructions during bulb replacement.
If you are not familiar with the specified
procedures, BMW recommends having the
replacements carried out at your BMW
center.

Never touch the glass of new bulbs
with your bare fingers, as even minute

amounts of contamination will burn into the
bulb's surface and reduce its service life.
Use a clean cloth, napkin, etc., or hold the
bulb by its metal socket.

You can obtain a selection of replacement
bulbs at your BMW center.

To prevent short circuits, before
working on any electrical system,

equipment or accessory you should always
switch it off and disconnect the cable from
the battery's negative terminal before start-
ing.
To avoid possible injury or equipment dam-
age when changing bulbs, observe any
instructions provided by the bulb manufac-
turer.

When maintaining the headlamps,
please comply with the instructions in

the separate Caring for your vehicle bro-
chure.

aim, please contact your BMW cen-

ter.
