Bulbs and lights are crucial safety fea-
tures of your car. Appropriate care and
attention should therefore be taken
when handling these components. If
you are unfamiliar with such tasks, it is
better to entrust them to BMW
Service.
bDo not touch the glass of new
bulbs with bare fingers. Use a clean
cloth, paper tissue or similar, and hold
the bulb otherwise only by its base.c
A box containing spare bulbs is avail-
able from BMW Service.
aWhenever carrying out any work
on the car's electrical system, always
switch off the consumers in question
or disconnect the battery's negative
terminal, otherwise there is a risk of
causing short-circuits.

the bulb manufacturer, to avoid caus-
ing injury or damage when changing
bulbs.c
