Xenon lamps
 
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 
continue driving with great caution 
using the fog lamps, provided local 
traffic laws do not prohibit this.
Because of the extremely high 
voltages involved, any work on the 
lighting system should be carried out by 
technically-qualified personnel only. 
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal 
injury.<
