Lamps and bulbs 
Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu-
tion to vehicle safety. You must be duly diligent 
in replacing them. BMW recommends having 
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 cloth, napkin, etc., or hold the bulb by its 
metal socket.

You can obtain a selection of replacement bulbs 
at your BMW center.
Whenever you perform any work on the 
lighting system, turn off the lights 
involved so as to prevent short circuits from 
occurring. 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.

Cover cap for low beams

Turn the cover cap to the left and remove.
Always wear gloves and eye protection –

pressurized. Failure to observe this precaution 
can lead to personal injury should the bulb be 
damaged.

For checking and adjusting headlamp
