Caution! High-pressure H7 incandescent bulbs may burst when replaced, so wear gloves and safety glasses when replacing these bulbs.
Caution! Do not touch the glass bulb of the lamp with bare hands. Grease stains on the lamp lead to darkening of the bulb and rapid failure of the lamp. Be sure to replace defective lamps with lamps of the same type. Wipe off any grease stains that may appear due to carelessness with a clean, lint-free cloth or alcohol.
Replace the headlight as follows.
Remove the bulb from the headlight.
