Lamps and bulbs
Lamps and lights contribute significantly to 
road safety. Therefore, comply fully with the fol-
lowing instructions during bulb replacement. 
BMW recommends that you entrust corre-
sponding procedures to your BMW center if 
you are unfamiliar with them or they are not 
described here.
Never touch the glass of new bulbs with 
your bare fingers, as even minute 
amounts of contamination will burn into the 
bulb's surface and reduce its service life. Use a 
clean cloth, napkin, etc., or hold the bulb by its 
metal socket.<
You can obtain a selection of replacement bulbs 
at your BMW center.
When working on the lighting system, you 
should always switch off the lights affected to prevent short circuits. 
To avoid possible injury or equipment damage 
when replacing bulbs, follow any instructions 
provided by the bulb manufacturer.<
When maintaining the headlamps, please follow 
the instructions in the separate Caring for your 
vehicle brochure.
Light-emitting diodes LEDs
Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu-
cent lenses serve as the light source for many of 
the controls and displays in your vehicle. These 
light-emitting diodes, which operate using a 
concept similar to that applied in conventional 
lasers, are officially designated as Class 1 light-
emitting diodes.
Do not remove the covers, and never 
stare into the unfiltered light for several 
hours, as irritation of the retina could result.<
Xenon lamp*
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 
carefully, where allowed by law.
Only have work on the xenon lighting sys-
tem including bulb changes carried out by 
a BMW center or a repair shop that works in 
accordance with BMW guidelines and uses 
appropriately trained personnel. Due to the high 
voltage involved, there is a danger to life and 
limb when work is carried out improperly.<
For checking and adjusting headlamp 
aim, please contact your BMW center.<
