Lamps and bulbs
Lamps and bulbs make an essential contribu-
tion to vehicle safety. They should, therefore, be handled carefully. BMW recommends hav-
ing your BMW center perform any work that you
do not feel competent to perform yourself or
that is not described here.
Do not touch the glass portion of a new
bulb with your bare hands since even
small amounts of impurities burn into the sur-
face and reduce the service life of the bulb. Use
a clean cloth, paper napkin or a similar material,
or hold the bulb by its metallic base.<
A replacement bulb set is available from your
BMW center.
When working on electrical systems,
always begin by switching off the corre-
sponding consumers, otherwise short-circuits
could result. To avoid possible injury or equip-
ment damage when replacing bulbs, be sure to
observe any instructions provided by the bulb
manufacturer.<
For care and maintenance of the headlamps,
please follow the instructions in the separate
Caring for your vehicle brochure.
If the routine for changing a particular
bulb is not described here, please contact
your BMW center or a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel.<
Light-emitting diodes LEDs
Control elements, display units and other inte-
rior equipment in your vehicle use a light-emit-
ting diode behind a cover as a light source.
These light-emitting diodes, which operate
using a concept similar to that applied in con-
ventional lasers, are officially designated as
Class 1 light-emitting diodes.
Do not remove the covers, and do not
look directly at the unfiltered light for sev-
eral hours. Otherwise, your eyes could suffer
irritation of the retina.<

Xenon lamps*
These bulbs have a very long service life and are
unlikely to fail. If one of these bulbs should nev-
ertheless fail, it is possible to continue driving
with great caution using the fog lamps, provided
traffic laws in your area do not prohibit this.
Have work on the xenon lighting system
performed only by your BMW center or a
workshop that works according to BMW repair
procedures with correspondingly trained per-
sonnel. Due to the high electrical voltages
present, there is a risk of potentially fatal acci-
dents if work is performed inappropriate.<
Parking lamps, roadside parking lamps
In the event of a malfunction, please contact
your BMW center or a workshop that works
according to BMW repair procedures with cor-
respondingly trained personnel.
Halogen lamps
For checking and adjusting headlamp
aim, please contact your BMW center.<
