Lamps and bulbs
The lamps and bulbs make essential 
contributions to the safety of your vehi-
cle. Observe the following instructions 
during bulb replacement carefully. If 
you are not familiar with any of the pro-
cedures, consult your authorized BMW 
center.
Do not touch the glass portion of a 
new bulb with your bare hands 
since even small amounts of impurities 
burn in to the surface, thus reducing the 
service life of the bulb. Use a clean 
cloth, paper napkin, or a similar mate-
rial, or hold the bulb by its metallic 
base.

A replacement bulb set is available from 
your BMW center.
Whenever working on the electri-
cal system, switch off the electri-
cal accessory you are working on or 
disconnect the cable from the negative 
terminal of the battery. Failure to do this 
could result in short circuits.
To prevent injuries and damage, comply 
with any instructions provided by the 
bulb manufacturer.
