BMW 7 Series: Follow Notes On Handling Led Lights (High-Performance Led)
WARNING: All LEDs with visible light have a certain secondary risk potential due to their dazzling effect:
If possible, do not look directly into the LED radiation without eye protection - and above all not for extended periods.
After looking into bright LED sources, temporary visual impairment and after-images (not a sign of eye damage) may occur, leading to irritations, annoyance, visual impairment or even accidents.
Especially looking direct and intentionally into "white" and "blue" LEDs from close proximity can lead to retinal damage after only a short period.
If dazzling effects persist or in case of other complaints, consult a eye specialist.
IMPORTANT: To avoid short circuits, disconnect LED lamps from the power supply before replacing them (lighting system and ignition off).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING LIGHT BULBS (EXTERIOR LIGHTS)
WARNING: Xenon headlamps: Danger to life due to high voltage! Work on the entire xenon lighting system (ignition device, control unit and bulb) may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
WARNING: Halogen lamps are under pressure: To avoid injury, wear protective goggles and gloves.
IMPORTANT: To avoid short circuits, disconnect bulbs from the power supply before replacing them (lighting system and ignition off).
Do not touch the glass bulbs in new light bulbs as even the smallest amount of dirt will burn in and reduce bulb service life.
Only touch light bulbs with clean gloves or a clean cloth.
Do not expose light bulbs to mechanical vibrations.
Use only recommended light bulbs.
Follow the light bulb manufacturer's instructions without fail.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING LIGHT BULBS (INTERIOR LIGHTS)
IMPORTANT: To avoid short circuits, disconnect bulbs from the power supply before replacing them (lighting system and ignition off).
Do not touch the glass bulbs in new lights bulbs as even the slightest contamination will burn in and reduce bulb service life.
Only touch light bulbs with clean gloves or a clean cloth.
Do not expose light bulbs to mechanical vibrations.
Use only recommended light bulbs.
Follow the light bulb manufacturer's instructions without fail.
NOTES FOR REPLACING THE PROTECTIVE CAP OF THE HEADLIGHT
IMPORTANT: Risk of damage! Damaged seals on the protective caps will lead to moisture penetration into the headlight.
This will in turn cause porous cable insulations and malfunctioning of the headlight.
When working on the headlight system, check the protective cap seals.
Replace the protective cap in the event of damage! Example: screwed protective cap Seal (1) on protective cap (2).
