Changing bulbs

Before changing a bulb in the engine bay, switch off the engine to
avoid danger of fingers and hands being injured by moving parts.
The radiator fan can start up even when the engine is switched off.
Check that the new bulb is working when finished.
Some bulbs are of the "Long-Life" type. Make sure the same type is
fitted when changing one of these.
Headlamp aiming, see page 214.
