Lamps and bulbs are an important compo
-
nent of vehicle safety. Therefore, proceed
carefully when handling bulbs.

To replace bulbs which are not described
here, please contact a MINI Dealer or a
workshop that has specially trained per
-
sonnel working in accordance with the
specifications of the MINI manufacturer.
Do not touch the glass portion of a new bulb with your bare hands since
even small amounts of impurities burn into
the surface and reduce the service life of
the bulb. Use a clean cloth, paper napkin, or
similar material, or hold the bulb by its
metallic base.<
A replacement bulb set can be obtained at
your MINI Dealer.
Whenever 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 do this could result in
short circuits.

To prevent injuries and damage, comply
with any instructions provided by the bulb
manufacturer.<
