Lamps and bulbs Xenon lamps
*
The operating life of these lamp units is
extremely long and the likelihood of
failure very low, provided that they are
not switched on and off a very great
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.
Because of the extremely high
voltages involved, any work on the
xenon lighting system should be carried
out by technically-qualified personnel
only. Failure to comply with this creates
a risk of fatal injury.< Turn signal indicators/Standing
