Changing the front headlight bulb on an Audi A3? Let's see how to remove the bulb. Open the front bonnet and lift it. Locate the headlight cover cap (located at the back of the headlight) and remove it. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull out the bulb holder from the headlight and extract the damaged bulb with the help of a screwdriver.

Fit the new bulb (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Turn on and check the operation of the new bulb.

Refit the cover cap and close the bonnet.
