Today, you will learn how to independently replace the front headlight bulbs on the Audi A3 model 8V. To carry out this replacement, first, get into the vehicle and turn the front right wheel inwards to create more space during the replacement, as the bulb you need to replace, which is for the fog light, is located just behind the wheel arch.

Remove the screws that secure the wheel arch liner, and once it is moved or completely removed, disconnect the old bulb from the connector and insert the new bulb in its place.

Close the cover, reattach the wheel arch liner, and then proceed to test the bulb by turning on the vehicle's lights.
