Replace the blown bulbs in the rear lights of the A3. Start by opening the boot and removing the plastic panel on the side of the trim (the side of the light where you need to replace the bulbs). Once you have unscrewed the cover, remove the blown bulbs.

Replace them with new bulbs (same size and voltage). Finally, refit the plastic cap on the side trim of the boot.

Test the bulbs by entering the vehicle and turning on the ignition (operate the light switch).
