To avoid possible injury or equipment damage
when replacing bulbs, observe any instructions
provided by the bulb manufacturer.◀
Do not touch the bulbs
Do not touch the glass of new bulbs with
your bare hands, as even minute amounts of
contamination will burn into the bulb's surface
and reduce its service life.
Xenon headlamps
Because of the long life of these bulbs, the like‐
lihood of failure is very low. Switching the lamps
on and off frequently shortens their life.
Use a clean tissue, cloth or something similar, or
hold the bulb by its base.◀
If a xenon bulb fails, switch on the front fog lamps
and continue the trip with great care. Comply
with local regulations.
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
Do not perform work/bulb replacement on
xenon headlamps
Light-emitting diodes installed behind a cover
serve as the light source for controls, display el‐
ements and other equipment.
Have any work on the xenon lighting system, in‐
cluding bulb replacement, performed only by a
service center.
These light-emitting diodes, which are related
to conventional lasers, are officially designated
as Class 1 light-emitting diodes.
Due to the high voltage present in the system,
there is the danger of fatal injuries if work is car‐
ried out improperly.◀
Do not remove the covers
Do not remove the covers, and never stare
into the unfiltered light for several hours; other‐
wise, irritation of the retina could result.◀
For checking and adjusting headlamp aim,
please contact your BMW center.
Turn signals, incl. side indicators
Headlamp glass
Follow the general instructions on lamps and
bulbs, refer to page 236.
Condensation can form on the inside of the ex‐
ternal lamps in cool or humid weather. When the
light is switched on, the condensation evapo‐
rates after a short time. The headlamp glasses
do not need to be changed.
These lamps are made using LED technology.
Please contact your service center in the event
of a malfunction.
If there is a large amount of moisture, e.g., water
droplets form in the lamp, have it checked by
your service center.
