General notes
In most cases it is no longer possible to change a bulb without
having to remove other vehicle parts. This is particularly the case
for bulbs which can only be accessed through the engine
compartment. Special skills are needed for this.
For this reason, the bulbs should always be changed by Technical
Service Centre or qualified personnel.
