How to Remove the Front Headlight from an Audi A1

Model: Audi A1 8X, MK 1 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Headlight

Removing the front headlight from an Audi A1 is a simple and quick task you can do yourself when you need to replace the bulb or make modifications to the headlight. Before removing the headlight, open the front bonnet and, if deemed necessary, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid a short circuit. To remove the headlight, use a 5 mm socket wrench to unscrew the upper and lower bolts that secure the headlight. Once the bolts are removed, pull the headlight from its housing and disconnect the central connector.
