Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the
new one complies with voltage and wattage as specified
on page 92, “Electric System”, for that lighting device.
Always check for new bulb proper operation before
refitting removed parts.

beam (HI) and parking light (1) bulbs.
Important
In the USA version, the position of the high and low
beam bulbs is reversed.
