Lighting and signaling — replacing lamps (Renault Espace III)

Note: Before replacing an incandescent bulb, check the corresponding electrical circuit and fuse. Remember: if the bulb has just been lit, it may be too hot. Do not touch the glass bulb of the bulb with bare hands. Grease marks on the bulb will darken the bulb and quickly cause the bulb to fail. Be sure to replace failed bulbs with bulbs of the same type. Wipe off any grease stains that may appear due to carelessness with a clean, lint-free cloth or alcohol.
