but also that of all other road users.

Before changing a bulb, make sure you
have the correct new bulb.

Do not touch the glass part of the bulb
with your bare hands, use a cloth or paper

the glass will vaporise as a result of the heat
generated by the bulb, they will be depos-
ited on the reflector and will impair its sur-
face.
