Just as I was parking my 545 in the garage last night the "Right Front Parking Lamp Failure" warning came up. At first I thought the I-Drive is going wacko on me but after I started the car this morning and the warning was still there I am thinking it might be the "real" deal

Is this something I can fix myself or do I have to schedule a service appt? I really don't feel like taking my car to the dealer so if someone could send me the instructions on how to replace this lamp I would be very grateful.

Thank you,

Did you visually confirm that there is a bulb burned out?

If so, please describe exactly what one it is.

Either way, my advice is to call the dealer and ask them to do it for you while you wait. It'll be covered under warranty and could be less of a hassle for you. (It's likely that the bulb isn't something you can simply get at a gas station, etc.)

I couldn't see which lamp has burned out but then again I wasn't really looking carefully either. I will check it out tonight one more time.
