As a rule, you require a certain degree of practical skill to change
defective bulbs. This applies in particular to those bulbs which are
only accessible from the engine compartment.
If in doubt, we recommend that you have defective bulbs changed
by a qualified workshop or qualified mechanic.
If you do decide to change bulbs in the engine compartment your-
self, be aware of the safety risks involved ⇒page 231 ⇒.
Types of bulbs
You must only replace a bulb with a bulb of the same type. Informa-
tion regarding e.g. the wattage can be found on the base of the
bulb.
