To replace the bulbs in the interior light located inside the Audi A3, first purchase the replacement bulbs, which should ideally be guaranteed and usually come with the necessary tools for replacement. Use a small plastic pry tool to remove the transparent plastic cover above the rear-view mirror.

This gives you access to the two bulbs, allowing you to replace the one you need. You can also remove the plastic cover at the bottom (using the plastic lever) to access the other two bulbs, which can be replaced by turning them counter-clockwise.

To replace the bulbs in the two small lights above the sun visors for the front seats, simply remove the lights themselves using a plastic lever, then access the bulb after removing the internal metal cover. Finally, to replace the bulb in the boot light, use the plastic lever to remove it from its housing.

Then, use two levers to disconnect the power supply, and lastly, remove the plastic connection of the power supply to access the bulb.
