Renewing Bulbs - Porsche 928 S 1986 Driver Manual

Renewing bulbs

To avoid short circuits when changing bulbs,
the respective circuit should be turned off.
Bulbs should be clean and grease free.
Therefore never touch the glass with your
bare hands, always use a cloth or a soft
piece of paper.
For safety reasons, you should always carry
spare bulbs in the vehicle so that any bulb
can be immediately renewed when it blows.
Remember when travelling abroad that in
some countries it is compulsory to carry spare
bulbs with you.
Only use soapy water to clean plastic light
lenses, never a chemical detergent.
Headlights
1. Elevate the headlights by turning them on,
and then turn the ignition off. Remove the
screws from the headlight housing and then
the housing itself.
2. Remove the spring holding the bulb cover,
and remove the bulb cover.
3. Pull back the spring holding the bulb, and
remove bulb.
When fitting the new bulb, ensure that the
tag on the bulb fits in the cutout in the lamp
surround. Refit bulb retaining spring and
bulb cover with its spring.
5. Refit headlight housing and check that the
light functions, and that it is properly ad-
justed.
