Today's instructions will allow us to remove and replace the headlight bulb of the Audi A3 in a few simple steps. First, to access the low beam bulb of the vehicle, you need to reach it through the wheel arch by removing the inner plastic cover of the headlight.

Then, disconnect the electrical connector of the bulb and detach the xenon control unit from the light, as shown in the video. At this point, install the new low beam bulb, ensuring it has the same fitting.
