Lights and bulbs
Lights and bulbs are an important aspect of
driving safety. They should, therefore, be han-
dled carefully. BMW recommends that any rou-
tines that you are not familiar with or that are not
described here be entrusted to BMW Service.
Do not touch the glass of a new bulb with
the fingers, because even slight amounts
of dirt or grease will then be burned into the bulb
and reduce its working life. Use a clean tissue,
cloth or similar, or hold the bulb by its base.
<
A box containing spare bulbs is available from
BMW Service.
Wait for bulbs to cool down before chang-
ing, otherwise they could cause burns.
<
When working on electrical systems,
always begin by switching off the con-
sumer in question, in order to avoid the risk of
short-circuits. Observe any instructions sup-
plied by the bulb manufacturer, to avoid the risk
of injury or damage when changing bulbs.

Please see the booklet Looking after your car
for notes on care of the headlights.
If you need to change a bulb not
described in the booklet, please contact
BMW Service or a workshop that operates to
