CHANGING A BULB

and directional headlamps  
The headlamps are fitted  
with polycarbonate glass  
with a protective coating:  
) do not clean them using a dry  
or abrasive cloth, nor with a  
detergent or solvent product,  
) use a sponge and soapy water,  
) when using a high pressure  
washer on persistent marks, do  
not keep the lance directed to-  
wards the lamps or their edges  
for too long, so as not to dam-  
age their protective coating and  
seals.  
) Do not touch the bulb directly  
with your fingers, use lint-free  
cloths.  
Changing a bulb should only be  
done after the headlamp has been  
switched off for a few minutes (risk  
of serious burns).  
It is imperative to use only anti-ul-  
traviolet (UV) type bulbs in order  
not to damage the headlamp.  
Always replace a failed bulb with a  
new bulb with the same type and  
specification.
