Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu-
tion to vehicle safety. They should, therefore, 
be handled carefully. BMW recommends hav-
ing your BMW center perform any work that you 
do not feel competent to perform yourself or 
that is not described here.

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 tissue, cloth or something similar, or hold 
the bulb by its base.

<

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

Only change bulbs while they are cool to 
the touch, otherwise you could suffer 

burns.

<

When working on electrical systems, 
always begin by switching off the con-

sumer in question, otherwise short-circuits 
could result. To avoid possible injury or equip-
ment damage when replacing bulbs, observe 
any instructions provided by the bulb manufac-
turer.

<

For care and maintenance of the headlamps, 
please follow the instructions in the separate 
Caring for your vehicle brochure.

If the routine for changing a particular 
bulb is not described here, please contact 

your BMW center or a workshop that works 
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel.

<

Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu-
cent lenses serve as the light source for many of 
the controls and displays in your vehicle. These 
light-emitting diodes, which operate using a 
concept similar to that applied in conventional 
lasers, are officially designated as Class 1 light-
emitting diodes.

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

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

<

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.

<

In the event of a malfunction, please contact 
your BMW center or a workshop that works 
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel.

H7 bulb, 55 watts

Always wear gloves and eye protection; 
the atmosphere within the H7 bulb is 

pressurized. Otherwise there is a risk of injury if 
the bulb is damaged.
