Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu-
tion to driving safety. Therefore, exercise suffi-
cient care when handling them. If you are not 
familiar with the specified procedures, have the 
corresponding work carried out at your BMW 
center.

Never touch the glass on 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.

When working on the lighting system 
you should always switch off the lights 

affected to prevent short circuits.
To avoid possible injury or equipment damage 
when replacing bulbs, observe any instructions 
provided by the bulb manufacturer.

<

When performing maintenance on the head-
lamps, comply with the instructions in the sep-
arate Caring for your vehicle brochure.

In the case of bulbs where the replace-
ment is not described, please consult 

your BMW center.

<

The service life of these lamps is very long and 
the probability of a failure is very low, provided 
that they are not switched on and off an unusual 
number of times. In the unlikely event that one 
of these lamps should fail, you can continue 
driving under poor visibility conditions by 
switching on your fog lamps and proceeding 
carefully, where allowed by law.

To avoid the risk of potentially fatal inju-
ries: owing to the extremely high voltages 

at which these units operate, service work on 
the xenon lighting system should only be car-
ried out by a BMW center.
