Lamps and bulbs

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.
