WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5 M, 2012 BMW X5 M, 2011 BMW X5 M, and 2010 BMW X5 M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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).
