Lighting fixtures include: headlights and fog lights, tail lights, brake lights, reversing lights, turn signal lights, rear fog lights, license plate lights, and interior lights.
Attention! Plastic lenses of headlights are covered with a protective varnish layer. For this reason, they should not be wiped with a dry cloth or hard cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents to clean them. Lenses can only be cleaned with a soft and damp cloth.
Switch off the corresponding current consumer before replacing the incandescent lamp.
Attention! Do not touch the glass bulbs with your fingers. Fingerprints evaporate and then deposit on the reflector, causing it to tarnish. It is best to put a clean napkin on the flask and use cotton mittens. This primarily applies to headlights and fog lights. If, through negligence, stains still remain on the bulb of the lamp, then remove them with a clean, lint-free cloth, moistened with alcohol.
Attention! Incandescent lamps must only be replaced with lamps of the same design.
Attention! H7 lamps are gas-filled and, accordingly, are under pressure. When replacing them, it is recommended to wear protective goggles and gloves.
