LAMPS AND BULBS
Proceed carefully when handling lamps and
bulbs. If you are not familiar with any of
the procedures, consult your MINI Dealer.
Do not touch the glass portion of a
new bulb with your bare hands since
even small amounts of impurities burn into
the surface and reduce the service life of
the bulb. Use a clean cloth, paper napkin, or
similar material, or hold the bulb by its
metallic base.<
Replacement bulbs are available from your
MINI Dealer.
Whenever working on the electrical
system, switch off the electrical
accessory you are working on or disconnect
the cable from the negative terminal of the
battery. Failure to do this could result in
short circuits.
To prevent injuries and damage, comply
with any instructions provided by the bulb
manufacturer.<

The H7 bulb is pressurized. Therefore,
wear safety glasses and protective
gloves. If the lamp is damaged there is a
risk of injury.<
Replacing bulbs
The headlamps are integrated into the
MINI engine bonnet.
1. Pull on the tab of the cover of the defec-
tive lamp and open it
2. Press the retaining wire lightly at the
eyelet and at the same time guide it out-
wards
3. Fold the retaining wire down
4. Remove the lamp holder and replace the
lamp
5. Reinsert the lamp holder in the correct
position
6. Fold the retaining wire back up and
catch in place. Ensure that it is placed in
the middle of the wire connector.
Xenon lamps*
The service life of these bulbs is very long
and the probability of a failure is very low,
provided that they are not switched on and
off an unusual number of times. If one of
these bulbs should nevertheless fail, it is
possible to continue driving with great cau-
tion using the fog lamps, provided traffic
laws in your area do not prohibit this.
Because of the extremely high volt-
ages involved, any work on the xenon
lighting system should be carried out by
technically-qualified personnel only. Other-
wise, there is a risk of fatal injury.<
