Lamps and bulbs
Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu-
tion to driving safety. You must be duly diligent 
in replacing them. If you are not familiar with the 
specified procedures, have the corresponding 
work carried out at your BMW center.
Never touch the glass on 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.<
A selection of replacement bulbs is available at 
your BMW center.
Whenever you perform any work on the 
electrical system, turn off the electrical 
devices involved to prevent short circuits from 
occurring. To avoid possible injury or equip-
ment damage when replacing bulbs, follow any 
instructions provided by the bulb manufac-
turer.<
When performing maintenance on the head-
lamps, follow the instructions in the separate 
Caring for your vehicle brochure.
For bulbs for which changing is not 
described, and for checking and adjusting 
headlamp aim, please contact your BMW cen-
ter.<
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.<
