Replacement of bulbs
The headlight bulbs should be changed
every year, suitably during the autumn.
When installing headlight bulbs, do not
touch the glass with your fingers. The
reason for this is that grease, oil or any
other impurities can be carbonized onto
the bulb and this could damage the
reflector.
The following pages explain how the
bulbs in the various lighting units are
replaced. Make sure when fitting lamps
that the guide pin on the socket fits into
its corresponding recess.
Replacing the headlight bulbs
The headlight bulbs are replaced from in-
side the engine compartment in the fol-
l owing way:
1. Remove the protective cover over the
space behind the headlight.
2. Remove the contact for the bulb holder
and rubber sleeve.
3. Remove the spring which fixes the lamp
holder in the correct position.
4.
Lift out the bulb. When fitting the new
bulb in the insert make sure that the
guide pin engages in its notch. Do not
touch the bulb glass with your fingers!
