Where possible the bulbs
should be replaced by Alfa
Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices. The correct operation and po-
sitioning of the external lights are
vital to the safety of the car and
its passengers and the subject of
specific laws.
Due to high voltage, the
bulb of (Xenon) gas-dis-
charge headlights must on-
ly be replaced by experts: danger
of death! Contact Alfa Romeo Au-
thorized Services.
Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas which, if
broken, may cause small
fragments of glass to be project-
ed outwards.
Halogen bulbs must be
handled touching only the
metallic part. If the trans-
parent bulb is touched with the fin-
gers, its lighting intensity is re-
duced and life of the bulb may be
compromised. If touched acciden-
tally, rub the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and allow
to dry.
