Lamps and bulbs

Lamps and bulbs make a significant contribu-
tion to road safety. Therefore, comply fully with
the following instructions during bulb replace-
ment. If you are not familiar with the specified
procedures or they are not described here,
BMW recommends having this work carried out
at your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.

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, paper towel, or the like or grasp
bulb by its base.

A replacement bulb set is available from your
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.

In all work on the electrical system, switch
off the relevant component to prevent

short circuits. To avoid possible injury or equip-
ment damage when replacing bulbs, follow any
instructions provided by the bulb manufac-
turer.

When maintaining the headlamps, please follow
the instructions in the separate Caring for your
vehicle brochure.
