IF AN EXTERIOR
LIGHT GOES OUT
GAS-DISCHARGE (XENON)
HEADLIGHTS
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 HEADLIGHTSThe bulbs are arranged inside the light unit
as follows (fig. 22):
(A) Fog lights.
(B) Dipped beam headlights.
(C) Sidelights.
(D) Main beam headlights.
To change the bulbs of the sidelights, low
beams and main beams it is necessary to
remove the cover (A-fig. 23) releasing
the catches (B).
To change the fog lights, remove the cov-
er (C) turning counter-clockwise. IMPORTANTFor the type of bulb and
power rating, see previous section “When
needing to change a bulb”.
The front light units contain the sidelight,
dipped beam, main beam and fog light
bulbs.

– Fit a new bulb, making the tab of the
metal part coincide with the one on the lamp
unit, then hook the bulb holder catch (B).
– Re-connect the electric connector (A).
– Refit the protective cover correctly.Fog lights(fig. 24)
IMPORTANTWhen needing to change
the left bulb, the side trim next to the light
itself needs to be removed to facilitate ac-
cess to the engine compartment.
To change the bulb, proceed as follows:
– Remove the protective cover turning
counter-clockwise.
– Disconnect the electric connector (A).
– Release the bulb catch (B).
– Remove the bulb and replace it.
fig. 24
A0A0161b
After replacement, refit
the covers correctly check-
ing 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 hu-
midity in the air. These traces will disappear
when the beams are turned on. Drops of wa-
ter inside the headlight indicate instead wa-
ter infiltration: contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Services.
