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.<
