lock carrier and the screw at the underside of the head-

rubber cap and should not be slackened more than ten  
turns) ⇒ fig. 247.

Installing  
– Insert the bulb carrier into the headlight.  
– Perform all of the above steps in reverse sequence.  
Note  
The headlight must be inserted in two guides (on the underside of  
the headlight). This is the only way to ensure that the headlight is  
installed in the correct position. To determine whether the headlight  
is correctly installed, check that it is aligned flush with adjacent  
body parts (such as the wing panel).  
Ensure that the rubber cap is seated correctly so that no water can  
enter the unit.  
Changing bulb for front fog lights  
Do not interchange the securing screws.  
Preparations  
Caution  
Please take particular care not to damage or scratch the adjacent  
parts of the body when removing or installing the headlights.  
Applies to vehicles: with xenon headlight bulbs  
Changing bulb for turn signals  
The bulb is secured in the bulb carrier with a bayonet  
fastener.

carrier.

turn it anti-clockwise and remove it.  
– Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your  
bare hands, use a cloth or paper towel instead.
