Replace the damaged bulbs installed in the front headlamp of the A3. Lift the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop. Once you locate the inspection cap at the back of the headlamp, remove it. If space is limited for replacement, remove the front headlamp.

Pull the bulb holder out of the headlamp and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver. Fit the new bulbs, insert the bulb holder back into the headlamp housing.

Refit the headlamp covers and turn on the new bulbs of the Audi A3.
