The front light units contain the side light,
dipped beam, main beam and front direc-
tion indicator bulbs.
The bulbs are arranged inside the light unit
as follows (fig. 21):
(A) Dipped beam headlights
(B) Main beam headlights
(C) Sidelights
(D) Front direction indicators.
IMPORTANT A slight layer of steam
(fogging) can appear on the inside surface
of the beam transparent cover: this is not
a defect. The presence of condensate traces
in beams is a natural phenomenon, due to
low temperature and to the degree of hu-
midity in the air. These traces will disappear
when the beams are turned on. Instead the
presence of drops inside the beam indicates
water infiltration: in ths case contact Alfa
Romeo Authorised Services.
