Replacing components
112 Please have your BMW Sports Activity
Vehicle Center work on lamps whose
replacement is not described here.<
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 are related to ordinary
lasers.
Do not remove the covers, and never
stare into the unfiltered light for several
hours, as irritation of the retina could result.<
Xenon lamps*
The service life of these bulbs is very long and
the probability of failure is very low, provided
that they are not switched on and off an unusual
number of times. If one of these bulbs should
nevertheless fail, it is possible to continue driv-
ing with great caution using the fog lamps, pro-
vided traffic laws in your area do not prohibit
this.
To avoid risk of potentially fatal injuries
due to the extremely high voltages at
which these units operate, service work should
always be entrusted to qualified personnel.<
Halogen low beams
H7 bulb, 55 watts
Always wear gloves and eye protection –
the atmosphere inside the H7 bulb is

aged.<
For checking and adjusting headlamp

Activity Vehicle Center.<
