Use only 12-volt bulbs of the same type 
and with the specified watt rating. 
Switch lights off before changing a bulb 
to prevent short circuits. 
Always use a clean lint-free cloth when 
handling bulbs. 
Your hands should be dry and free of oil 
and grease.
If the newly installed bulb does not light 
up, visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Center.

Warning!
G
Keep bulbs out of reach of children.
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot. 
Allow the lamp to cool down before 
changing a bulb.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. 
A bulb can explode if you:
touch or move it when hot
drop the bulb
scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
Because of high voltage in xenon lamps, it is 
dangerous to replace the bulb or repair the 
lamp and its components. We recommend 
that you have such work done by a qualified 
technician.
