ment.

After replacement, refit
the covers correctly
checking that they are
properly secured.
IMPORTANTA 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 a low temperature and to the
degree of humidity in the air. These traces
will disappear when the beams are turned
on. Drops of water inside the headlight
indicate instead water infiltration: contact
