Changing bulbs
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of practical
skill.
You can change the following bulbs for exterior lights yourself:
• Halogen headlights: Bulb for dipped headlights
• Halogen headlights: Bulb for main beam headlights
• Halogen headlights: Bulb for side lights
• Xenon headlights*: Bulb for turn signals
• Bulb for fog light
• Bulbs for rear lights in boot lid
• Bulbs for rear lights in side panel
• Bulbs for number plate light
The following bulbs should only be changed by a qualified work-
shop:
• Halogen headlights: Bulb for turn signals
• Xenon headlights*: Light source for daytime running
lights/parking lights
• Bulb for headlights: Bi-xenon lights ⇒
• Light source for turn signal in exterior mirror housing
• Light source for high-level brake light
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.
