Xenon headlamps
Xenon headlamps
Because of the long life of these bulbs, the likelihood of failure is very low. Switching the lamps on and off frequently shortens their life.
If a xenon bulb fails, switch on the front fog lamps and continue the trip with great care. Comply with local regulations.
Do not perform work/bulb replacement on xenon headlamps
Have any work on the xenon lighting system, including bulb replacement, performed only by a service center. Due to the high voltage present in the system, there is the danger of fatal injuries if work is carried out improperly.
For checking and adjusting headlamp aim, please contact your BMW center.
