GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒ replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power;
❒ after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
❒ when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this
chapter.
IMPORTANT
13) 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
emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. In the case
of accidental contact, rub the
lamp with a cloth and spirit and
leave to dry.
WARNING
101) Modifications or repairs to theelectric system that are not
carried out properly or do not take
the system technical
specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
102) Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas; in the case of
breakage they may burst.

103) Due to the high supply voltage,gas discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon)
should only be replaced by
specialised personnel: danger of
death! Contact a dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights,
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.
