WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW 760Li, 2015 BMW 760Li, 2014 BMW 760Li, 2013 BMW 760Li, and 2012 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Xenon headlight: 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 bulbs 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 notes without fail.
