Lights and bulbs
Lights and bulbs are an important road
safety factor. Consequently, appropri-
ate care and attention should be taken
when handling these components. If
you are unfamiliar with such tasks,
BMW recommends that you entrust
them to BMW Service.
Do not touch the glass of a new
bulb with the fingers, because
even slight amounts of dirt or grease
will then be burned into the bulb and
reduce its working life. Use a clean tis-
sue, cloth or similar, or hold the bulb by
its base.<
A spare bulb box is available from BMW
Service.
Before any work is done on the
electrical system, switch off the
affected consumer equipment or dis-
connect the negative terminal from the
battery, to prevent any risk of short-cir-
cuits occurring.
Observe any instructions supplied by
the bulb manufacturer, to avoid causing
injury or damage when changing
bulbs.<
