is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes. For the replacement of these light-

hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep
the lance directed towards the
lamps or their edges for too long,

o not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-

damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.
