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. In the 
unlikely event that one of these lamps 
should fail, you can respond by switching 
on your fog lamps and proceeding care-
fully, where allowed by law. Only have work on the xenon lighting 
system including bulb changes car-
ried out by a BMW center or a workshop 
that uses personnel trained in accordance 
with BMW requirements. Due to the high 
voltage involved, there is a danger to life 
and limb when work is carried out improp-
erly.<
