Bulb replacement

Switch off the ignition and switch off the relevant switch or close the doors. Only hold a new bulb at the base! Do not touch the bulb glass with bare hands. Use only the same bulb type for replacement. To replace bulbs on the right side of the engine compartment, detach the air hose from the air filter.

To replace the bulb on the left-hand side, remove fuse box cover, and also remove windscreen washer system reservoir filler neck from above. Washer fluid may escape if the reservoir is full to the top.
