To replace the headlight bulb of an Audi A1, it is necessary to remove the entire front optical group. Fortunately, this is a rather simple operation that we can do quickly.

We open the front hood and identify the two 25 torx screws that support the headlight to the body. There is another t30 screw higher up, then we remove the electrical connector and finally slide out the optical group from its housing.

At this point, we turn the headlight and see that there are two bolts on the back that we need to remove in order to access the bulbs and change them easily.
