Changing a Bulb
Types of Bulb
- Type B: Bayonet bulb — press on the bulb then turn anticlockwise.
- Type A: All glass bulb — pull gently as it is fitted by pressure.
- Type C: Halogen bulb — release the retaining spring from its housing.
Various types of bulb are fitted to your vehicle. To remove them, open the bonnet and reach behind the headlamp unit. Carry out the operations in reverse order to refit each bulb and ensure the bonnet is closed securely.
Halogen bulbs must be changed with the headlamp off — wait a few minutes to avoid burns. Do not touch the bulb directly with fingers; use a lint-free cloth. Condensation inside headlamps is normal and disappears with regular use. Change bulbs with ignition off or battery disconnected; wait ~3 minutes after changing before reconnecting the battery. Check that lamps operate correctly after each operation.
High Pressure Washing
When using a high-pressure washer on stubborn dirt, avoid persisting on the headlamps or their edges to prevent damage to coatings and seals.
