Halogen Headlamps

Halogen Headlamps

Application and Safety Notes


• Before replacing a bulb, the corresponding electrical consumer must always be switched off.

• Switch off ignition, switch off all electrical consumers and remove ignition key.

• Do not touch glass cone of bulb with bare fingers, use clean cloth gloves. The remaining fingerprint would evaporate due to the heat of the operated bulb and condense on the reflector which would impair headlamp luminosity.

• A bulb must only be replaced with one of the same version. Bulb identification can be found on bulb socket or glass cone.

• Harness connectors must engage correctly when installed and must be checked for proper connection.

Additional Information

• Familiarity with the function and operation of the lighting system is essential in the event of customer complaints.

Refer to the Owner's Manual.
