WARNING Risk of bu rns from hot com‐
ponent parts whilst replacing a bulb
Bulbs, lamps and plug connectors can
become very hot during operation.
When replacing a bulb, you could burn your‐
self on these component parts. #
Allow the component parts tocool
down before replacing the bulbs. When
you are replacing the bulb, obser vethefo l‐
lowing:
R Do not use any bulb that has been dropped or
has scratches on its glass sur face. Otherwise,
th e bulb may explode.
R The bulb may explode if it is hot or if you
to uch, drop or sc ratch it.
R Stains on theglass sur face reduce the
service life of the bulb. Do not touch theglass
sur face wi thyour bare hands. If necessar y,
clean theglass sur face wi thalcohol or spirits
in a cold state and wipe it down with a lint-
free clo th.
R Protect bulbs from humidity and do not bring

Alw ays ensure the bulbs are firm ly secu red.
If yo ur vehicle is equipped with LED lamps, you
can check this as follo ws :th e light cone will mo ve
