Before you start to replace a bulb for a
front lamp, do the following first:
̈ Turn the exterior lamp switch to
position M (
page 134).
̈ Open the hood (page 293) (except
for side marker lamps).
Low beam bulb (halogen headlamps
only)
̈ Turn housing cover 1 counterclock-
wise and remove it.
̈ Turn bulb holder 6 with the bulb coun-
terclockwise and remove it.
̈ Pull the bulb at its socket out of bulb
holder 6.
̈ Insert the new bulb so that its socket
locates in the recess of bulb holder 6
and is level to it.
̈ Reinsert bulb holder 6 with the bulb in
the lamp and turn clockwise.
̈ Align housing cover 1 and turn it
clockwise.
Warning! G
Do not remove the cover 1 for the Bi-Xe-
non* headlamp. Because of high voltage in
Xenon* lamps, it is dangerous to replace the
bulb or repair the lamp and its components.
We recommend that you have such work
done by a qualified technician.
