TO CHANGE A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-

tacts for oxidation;

❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-

ers of the same type and power;

❒ Always check the height of the head-

light beam after changing a bulb;

❒ When a bulb is not working, check that

the corresponding fuse is intact before

replacing it: refer to the “If a fuse

blows” paragraph in this chapter for

fuse location.

Modifications or repairs to

the electrical system that are

not carried out properly or do not

take the system’s technical specifica-

tions into account can cause mal-

functions leading to the risk of fire. 

WARNING

Halogen bulbs contain gas

under pressure, if they break

glass fragments may be thrown

around.

WARNING

When handling halogen bulbs

just touch the metal part.

Touching the transparent

part of the bulb with your fin-

gers may reduce the intensity of the

emitted light and even compromise du-

ration of the lamp. In the case of ac-

cidental contact, rub the lamp with a

cloth and spirit and leave to dry.
