Replacing bulbs
Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the
new one complies with voltage and wattage as specified
on page 66, "Electric System", for that lighting device.
Always check for new bulb proper operation before
refitting removed parts.
Headlamp
To gain access to headlamp bulbs proceed as follows:
Disassembly:
low beam bulb (fig. 35.1): remove the rubber cover (1).
Press the lower quick-release button to disconnect the
connector (2).
L.h. high beam bulb (fig. 35.2): disconnect the
connector (3) of the white bulb cable from the front
wiring, remove the rubber cover (1) from the headlamp
body and pull out the bulb cable.
Note
The black ground mass cable connector does not
need to be disconnected to replace the headlamp bulbs.
Release the clip (4) that secures the bulb and remove it
from the socket (fig. 35.1 and 35.2).
Note
Be careful to hold the new bulb at the base only.
Never touch the transparent body with your fingers or it
will blacken resulting in reduced bulb brilliancy.
