Preparatory work

Safety rules

Warning! Always disconnect the headlight connector and remove the headlight from the vehicle before carrying out work on Bi-Xenon headlights. There is high voltage and a risk of explosion. Allow the light to cool. Always use protective goggles and gloves when replacing the light.

The glass body of the Bi-Xenon-lamp is filled with different gases and metal vapors which are under high pressure. Never touch the glass body of the lamp. Only touch the lamp at the socket. Remove any finger prints from the glass using a clean cloth and alcohol. The lamp must only be used in enclosed headlamps. The replaced Bi-Xenon lamp must be treated as hazardous waste and must be sent for recycling.
