Introduction

Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of

practical skill. If you are unsure, SEAT recom-

mends that you consult a technical service or

request assistance from a specialist. In gen-

eral a specialist is needed if, in addition to the

bulbs, other vehicle components require re-

moval.
