The lamps and bulbs make essential 
contributions to the safety of your 
vehicle. Therefore, comply fully with the 
following instructions during bulb 
replacement. If you are not familiar with 
any of the procedures, consult your 
BMW center.
Do not touch the glass portion of 
a new bulb with your bare hands 
since even small amounts of impurities 
burn in to the surface and reduce the 
service life of the bulb. Use a clean 
cloth, paper napkin, or a similar mate-
rial, or hold the bulb by its metallic 
base.<
A replacement bulb set is available from 
your BMW center.
Before working on the electrical 
system, switch off the electrical 
accessory you are working on or 
disconnect the cable from the negative 
terminal of the battery. Failure to 
observe this precaution could result in 
short circuits.
To prevent injuries and damage, 
comply with any instructions provided 
by the bulb manufacturer.<
