Instructions: The left gas discharge lamp "L13" and the right gas discharge lamp "L14" can be checked using the diagnostics of the actuators of the on-board power supply control unit "J519". The figures show the replacement of the gas discharge lamp on the right headlight. The replacement for the right headlight is similar.
Remove the headlight. Remove the plug "1".

Unlock the connector by pressing the side "arrow" button and remove it from the gas discharge lamp igniter "N195" "1".
ATTENTION: The pressure inside the gas discharge lamp is from 1 (cold) to 100 bar (heated). The temperature around the heated gas discharge lamp reaches 700 degrees Celsius. The gas discharge lamp can explode, so there is a risk of burns. When removing and installing the lamp, be sure to wear protective glasses and gloves.

Installation
Caution: When installing the cover, pay attention to its correct position. If water gets inside the headlight, it may fail. When installing the gas-discharge lamp, do not touch its glass surface. Fingers leave greasy prints on the glass of the lamp, which evaporate after the gas-discharge lamp is turned on and cause the glass to become cloudy. Never subject the glass bulb of the gas-discharge lamp to mechanical impact. The glass bulb is very sensitive and, in addition, is under high pressure. Do not look directly into the focused light beam, since the ultraviolet radiation of the gas-discharge lamp is approximately 2.5 times greater than the radiation of conventional halogen light. If the headlight with an automatic corrector was dismantled, then after installation it is necessary to perform a basic adjustment of the headlights.
Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Check the operation of the headlight.
