Risk of injury
Xenon or bi-xenon bulbs are under high volt-
age. Do not, therefore, remove the cover on
xenon or bi-xenon bulbs. Do not change xe-
non or bi-xenon bulbs yourself, but have
them replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required.
