REMOVAL - REFITTING

  • The removal and refitting procedure for headlamps fitted with xenon lamps is identical to that for halogen headlamps (Chapter Front Headlamps).
IMPORTANT
  • Never switch on a bulb that is not installed in its headlamp (danger to eyes).
  • Xenon bulbs operate at 20000 V on ignition, then at 85 V AC in operation.
  • Wait for the control unit and ballast assemblies to cool down before removal.
  • Always disconnect the battery before any work.
Note: Always perform an initialisation of the xenon lamp system (Chapter Xenon Lamps, Xenon Headlamps: Adjustment, page 80C-14) and adjust the headlamps.
