Halogen bulbs must be handled by holding
the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the light
emitted and even compromise the life of the bulb
itself. In the event of accidental contact, wipe the
bulb with an alcohol-soaked cloth and leave to dry.

IMPORTANT The internal surface of the light may
appear slightly misty: this does not indicate a fault, and is
actually caused by low temperature and the degree of
humidity in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when
the headlights are switched on. The presence of drops
inside the headlights indicates infiltration of water.
Contact an Abarth Dealership.

Different types of bulbs fig. 135 are installed on the car:
A Glass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull to remove.
B Bayonet type bulbs: to remove this type of bulb from its holder, press the bulb and turn it anticlockwise. C Tubular bulbs: release them from their contacts to
