OverviewControlsMaintenanceRepairsDataIndex
Lamps and bulbs 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 traffic
laws in your area do not prohibit this.
Never attempt to perform bulb
changes or any other service oper-
ations on the xenon lamps. Always have
them serviced by professional techni-
cians. The extremely high voltages at
which these lamps operate constitute a
potentially lethal safety hazard.<
When cleaning the headlamps,
please observe the following:
>Do not clean by wiping with a dry
cloth (this causes scratches). Never
use abrasives or strong solvents to
clean the covers
>Remove dirt and contamination (such
as insects) by soaking with BMW Car
Shampoo and then rinsing with
ample water
>Always use a deicer spray to remove
accumulated ice and snow Ð never
use a scraper.<
