To replace the bulb on an Audi A3 model 8P car, it is necessary to loosen the front bumper, as there is not enough space inside the front hood to perform the maneuver without removing parts. We use a Torx key to unscrew the upper bumper screws and using a plastic removal tool, we slightly detach the side bumper.

We unscrew the upper screws on the headlight and using a Torx key with an extension, we unscrew the inner side screw in order to remove it after disconnecting the connector. We remove the dome light cover and proceed with the bulb replacement.

Once the replacement is done, we perform the reverse procedure to mount the headlight and bumper on the vehicle.
