If and when
Changing bulbs
Introduction Changing bulbs requires a certain amount of manual skill. If you are unsure,
SEA
T r
ecommends that you consult an qualified workshop or request assis-
tance from a specialist. In general, a specialist is required if other vehicle
components must be removed or if the discharge lamps must be replaced.
You should store spare light bulbs in the vehicle for safety-relevant lights.
Spare bulbs may be obtained from the Official dealers and workshops. In
some countries, it is a legal requirement to carry spare bulbs in the vehicle.
Driving with faults and blown bulbs on the vehicle exterior lighting is
against the law.
Additional bulb specifications
The specifications of some headlamp bulbs and bulbs for the tail lamps fit-
ted at the factory may be different to those of conventional bulbs. Bulb in-
formation is displayed on the bulb socket or on the bulb itself.
Additional information and warnings:
● Lights and visibility ⇒ page 95
● W

orking in the engine compartment ⇒ page 275
● V

ehicle tools ⇒ page 320
● F

uses ⇒ page 322 WARNING
If the road is not well-lit and the vehicle is not clearly visible to other
driver s, ther

e is a risk of accident. WARNING
Failure to replace bulbs correctly may cause serious accidents.
● Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment please read
and ob ser

ve the warnings ⇒ page 275. In any vehicle, the engine com-
partment is a hazardous area and could cause severe injury.
● Discharge lamps work with high-voltage and can cause serious or fa-
tal

injury if handled incorrectly.
● H7 and discharge lamps are highly pressurised and could explode
when being ch
anged.
● Only replace the bulbs concerned when they have cooled.
● Never replace bulbs alone if you are not familiar with the operations
neces
sary. If you are not sure about procedures then visit a Technical
Service to carry out the necessary work.
● Never touch the bulb glass directly. Fingerprints will be evaporated by
the heat of
the operating bulb thus “fogging” up the reflector.
● The headlamp frameworks in the engine compartment and the tail
lamps
contain sharp elements. Always protect your hands when chang-
ing bulbs. CAUTION
After changing a bulb, if the rubber covers and plastic caps are not replaced
corr ectly

on the headlamp framework, the electrical installation may be
damaged, especially if water is allowed to enter. 
