To replace the blown bulbs in the front headlight on an Audi A3, remove the cover caps. Open the front bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop.

Remove the inspection cap of the headlight (located at the rear of the headlight). Remove the bulbs with the metal clips; pull the bulb holder out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver.

Install the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and secure the bulb holder in the headlight housing. Close the headlight units and lower the bonnet.
