If you wish to fit fog lights or long range
headlights to your vehicle, consult an
authorised dealer.
Any operation on (or modi -
fication to) the electrical
system must be performed
by an approved dealer
since an incorrect connection might
damage the electrical equipment
(harness, components and in partic-
ular the alternator). In addition, your
Dealer has all the parts required for
fitting these units.

needs to be removed, you are advised
to have your bulbs replaced by an
approved dealer.
