Does your base vehicle not list them? For the rear you might have to take the bulbs out and look or take it to a motor spares place where they will probably just I’d them through the lens.

Halfords do bulb kits maybe check if they do one for your base vehicle

The rear units might not be what MAN fit so a simple look should suffice.

Eurocarparts say no bulbs found 🙄 Halfords seem to have 2 different fittings 🤷‍♀️ I’ll take the van over to them and have them take a look
Wow! I apologise. I thought it would be relatively simple. I’m sure a visit with the vehicle would help a professional identify the bulbs. If they’re that difficult to track down, I’d reckon it’s worth having a kit of spares - one of everything. Good luck

Unfortunately the manual isn’t much help!

Like some many things in life, the best answer to your question is in your own hands.

Given the variety of bulb types for each position, and possible "upgrade" of headlight bulbs.
Your best option is to remove each of the bulbs you wish to get a replacement for to identify it.
Also by removing the bulbs to identify them you'll learn how to replace them, as have a bulb is of no use if
you don't know how to replace the defective one. Believe me they don't all just "pop out" in an obvious way,
you may require screwdriver to remove cluster or as an example Vauxhall Astra you go in through the front
wheel arch.

Personally I carry 2 of each type.

Also are the rear lights "standard" our Kon-Tiki has a bespoke LED cluster so no bulbs to replace, but unlikely to fail also. Ducato cab has 2 different amber coated indicator bulb sizes for front & wing mirror installation.
My Volvo S40 has indicator bulbs with offset pins to prevent installing wrong type.
