* 
The service life of these bulbs is very 
long and the probability of a failure is 
very low, provided that they are not 
switched on and off an unusual number 
of times. If one of these bulbs should 
nevertheless fail, it is possible to con-
tinue driving with great caution using 
the fog lamps, provided traffic laws in 
your area do not prohibit this.
Because of the extremely high 
voltages involved, any work on 
the xenon lighting system and bulb 
replacement should be performed only 
by technicians with the appropriate 
qualifications. Failure to comply with 
this creates a risk of fatal injury.<
