My W204 C Class keeps showing a warning message when the lights are on - "Check Front Left Parking Lamp"

Anyone managed to change the parking lamps themselves? I have seen some youtube clips of how to do it, doesn't look too bad, but not sure what bulbs to order and that massive warning sign about the volts on the lights looks a bit scary?

The bulbs are just standard 12v 5w push-in type, nothing special. If you take the key out of the ignition and nobody is going to tinker with the light switch, don't worry about the warning sticker - yes the xenon ignitors can give you a belt but they don't go off for no reason.

The "parking lamp" will just be one of the two sidelamp bulbs at the top of the light cluster; you just turn the cover on the back anti-clockwise for a quarter-turn and it pops off. You may need snipe-nosed pliers to the pull the bulb holder out unless you have small fingers though!
