Xenon lamps*

These bulbs have a very long service life and are
highly unlikely to fail. If a xenon lamp fails never-
theless, switch on the fog lamps and continue
the journey with great care, provided that local
legislation does not prohibit this.
Have any work on the xenon lamp system,
including bulb replacements, performed
only by a BMW center or a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise, if
such work is carried out improperly, the high
voltage in the system presents the danger of
fatal injuries.<
Removing the headlamp cover

Be careful when attaching the headlamp
cover and ensure that both wire brackets

occur and cause damage to the headlamp sys-
tem.<
Attach the headlamp cover in reverse order.
