Note: Incandescent lamps should only be replaced with lamps of the same type. Before replacing a lamp, make sure that the corresponding light fixture is turned off. Do not handle the bulb of the incandescent lamp with bare fingers, use a clean towel or cotton gloves. Fingerprints left on the lamp bulb evaporate and settle on the reflector, which is especially noticeable on headlights and fog lights. Any accidentally left fingerprints should be removed with an alcohol wipe. It is not permitted to wipe headlight reflectors covered with a protective varnish with a dry, hard cloth, or to use any cleaners or solvents for this purpose. Use soft, wet wipes. Halogen and xenon lamps are under pressure and may crack. Therefore, when replacing them, you should use protective glasses and gloves. When replacing xenon bulbs, there is an additional risk of injury due to high voltage! Be sure to turn off the headlights and disconnect the electrical wiring from the battery. After replacement, briefly turn the headlight on and off to relieve residual voltage. As a safety precaution, wear boots with rubber soles.

Removal and installation the headlight
3. Turn off the ignition and all electrical consumers. Remove the key from the ignition switch. On models with halogen headlights, set the headlight range control to the "0" position.
4. Disconnect the connector (1 in the illustration), pull the lock (2) in the direction of the arrow, press the lock (3) down and at the same time pull the headlight unit (4) out of the support.
5.4. Removing the headlight.
5. Installation is carried out in reverse order. Inserting the headlight (1 in the illustration) into the support (2), make sure that the guides on the headlight housing enter the guides on the support (arrows).
5.5. Installing the headlight.
Finally, adjust the headlights (see Section 4).
