WARNING
139)Modifications or repairs to the electric
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.140)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
141)Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does not
interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
“Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure

exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
IMPORTANT
61)Halogen bulbs must be handled
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 event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.
