Smile Changing headlight bulbs by hand?

I wonder if I can change the headlight bulbs by hand from the engineroom. Without removing the grill at all? Is it difficult or easy? Which bulbs are rekommended? Have anyone tried? Or is it a case for the dealer?

Best Regards

Headlamp bulbs are changed inside engine compartment with no problem, and parking lamp bulbs, too. Only the side marker lamps require the grill removal. I would go with some aftermarket bulb since regular factory bulbs leave a lot to be desired in way of brightness.

Check out this Link as to replacing front bulbs. Good Luck!

Hello again!
The new headlight bulbs are now in place... Much brighter light compare with the stock. I Can recommend Osram R9008. Looks almost like Xenon lights. Very nice...
