Do not remove the covers or expose the<br />
eyes directly to the unfiltered light source<br />
for several hours; otherwise, this could cause<br />
irritation of the retina.<<br />
Headlight lenses<br />
In cool or humid weather, condensation may<br />
form on the interior of outside lamps. When the<br />
light is switched on, the condensation will disappear<br />
after a short time. The headlight lenses<br />
do not need to be replaced.<br />
At high humidities, e.g. water droplets may form<br />
in the lights; have these checked by your <strong>BMW</strong><br />
center.,<br />
Xenon lamps<br />
These bulbs have a very long service life and are<br />
highly unlikely to fail. If a xenon lamp fails nevertheless,<br />
switch on the fog lamps and continue<br />
the journey with great care, provided that local<br />
legislation does not prohibit this.<br />
Have any work on the xenon lamp system,<br />
including bulb replacements, performed<br />
only by a <strong>BMW</strong> center or a workshop that works<br />
according to <strong>BMW</strong> repair procedures with correspondingly<br />
trained personnel. Otherwise, if<br />
such work is carried out improperly, the high<br />
voltage in the system presents the danger of<br />
fatal injuries.<<br />
Access to the lamps<br />
1. Switch off the lamps and take the remote<br />
control out of the ignition lock.<br />
2. Remove the upper cover from the headlamp.<br />
To do so, use a screwdriver to press<br />
the catches towards the rear, see arrows,<br />
and pull the cover forward and out.<br />
Follow the same steps in reverse order to reattach<br />
the cover.<br />
Be careful when installing the cover; otherwise,<br />
leaks could occur and cause damage<br />
to the headlamp system.<<br />
