BULB TYPES fig. 19
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
A All glass bulb: clipped into place. Pull
to extract.
B Bayonet bulbs: to remove this type
of bulb from its holder, press the bulb
and turn it anticlockwise.
C Cylindrical bulbs: release from the
contacts to extract.
D Halogen bulbs: release the fastening
clip from the corresponding seat to re-
move the lamp.
E Halogen bulbs: release the fastening
clip from the corresponding seat to re-
move the lamp.
F Gas-discharge bulbs: (Xenon). IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear
on the internal surface of the headlight:
this does not indicate a fault and is caused
by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-
appear when the headlights are switched
on. The presence of drops inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Abarth Dealership.
