Default light bulb change

According to the owners manual, it is recommended that the A8 should be returned to the dealer for changing blown light bulbs.
In my car, the 1 of the rear bright lamp is blown. Can I just buy a replacement bulb and fit it myself ? I've looked the the lamp holder, it looks a little different from oridinary lamp holders. Any advise ?

Default I've had no difficulty at all replacing rear bulbs-

including the small parking light amber ones. I got replacement bulbs at Pep Boys and they work fine. Access is a breeze, you just need to make sure that the two bayonnet pins on the bulb are clocked correctly. No way I would pay a dealer monkey to replace BULBS!

Bulb changed and all is well.
Bulb costs HK$5.
If i were to the franchised dealer, I could be charged HK$100.
