Motex,
Yes it is Bulb 4. When you look directly behind the light, you will see a 80 mm black cap. Unscrew & that gives you direct access to bulb 4. You need small hands to then twist the bayonet light socket. Bit fiddly but persistance pays off.

This is the second time my car burns that bulb, my car still has 3 more warranty months left, so tomorrow I will take it to the dealer once again.....
I was thinking in changing to super-white PIA bulbs, but since I have this reincident problem, I will pospone that project for later Thanks for your replies Bernie |

yes, the one H8 bulb's light (per side) is distributed between both rings, first the inner than the outter ring, casuing slight brightness difference in both...

Today they charged me for the burned bulb because they say "it is normal" so the life expectancy of those bulbs are below the 2 year mark......that is not right IMO. I was wrong about second time same bulb, first time was the right one, now it was the left one, but it feels like those bulbs are not lasting a normal life, and they are made by Osram in Germany, that means that probably in 18 months I will be buying bulbs again, what I did was to turn off the daylight driving lights feature just to give some extra life to those bulbs.....not logical for an expensive car like this....
