Additional bulb specifications
Some bulbs in headlights or in tail light clusters might have factory specifications that are different
to standard bulbs. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.

• Dipped beam, main beam, daytime running lights, static cornering light, side lights and turn

Checklist Information on changing bulbs
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings

Introduction
Checklist
Always carry out the following actions for changing a bulb in the given order
⇒
:
Accidents can occur if roads are not sufficiently illuminated and other road users have
difficulty seeing the vehicle, or cannot see it at all.
WARNING
Changing the bulb incorrectly can cause accidents and serious injuries.
• When working in the engine compartment, always read and observe the safety
warnings
⇒
In the engine compartment
. The engine compartment of any motor vehicle
is a dangerous area. Serious injuries can be sustained here.
• H7/H15 bulbs are pressurised and could explode when they are being changed.
• Only change the defective bulb once it has had time to cool down completely.
• Never change a bulb unless you are familiar with the procedure. If you are uncertain of
what to do, the work should be carried out by a qualified workshop.
• Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with unprotected fingers. When the light is
switched on, heat will cause fingerprints to evaporate on the bulb, which in turn will
cause the reflector to dim.
• There are sharp-edged parts in the headlight housing in the engine compartment and
on the tail light cluster housing. Protect your hands when changing bulbs.
WARNING
Damage to the electrical system can be caused by water entering the system if the rubber
covers or plastic caps on the headlight housing are not properly mounted after a bulb has
been changed.
