only be replaced by new identical models. Bulb information is dis-
played on the bulb socket or on the bulb itself.
10. In general, never touch the bulb glass directly. The heat of the bulb
would cause the fingerprint to evaporate and condense on the reflec-
tor. This will impair the brightness of the headlight.
11. Check if the new bulb is working. If the bulb is not working, it may
not have been correctly fitted, it could be damaged or the connector
may not be correctly connected.
12. Every time a bulb for the headlights is replaced, visit a specialised
workshop to check the headlights.

Failure to follow the checklist prepared for your own safety could lead to
accidents and severe injuries.
● Always complete the operations given in the checklist and observe
the general rules of safety.

work and other vehicle parts.
