Replacing the dipped beam bulb
The dipped beam bulb in the halogen head-
lamp can be replaced without assistance
from a workshop.
Before the bulb can be replaced, the plastic
cover over the headlamp must be removed.
IMPORTANT
Never touch the glass part of the bulbs
with your fingers. Grease from your fingers
is vaporised by the heat, coating the reflec-
tor and then causing damage.

upwards and pulling it straight out.
