Replacing the dipped beam bulb
The dipped beam bulb in halogen headlamps
can be replaced by the driver.
Before the bulb can be replaced, the plastic
cover over the headlamp must be removed; see
the section "Bulb replacement".
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs with
your fingers. Grease from your fingers is
vaporised by the heat, coating the reflector
and then causing damage.
