Removing the rear stop on the Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 1, 8L - Years 1996-2003
Part: Tail light

Let's see the disassembly of the rear light of an Audi A3. We disassemble the various covers to access the rear light, let's see. Lift the tailgate, open the plastic inspection cap (located on the side of the luggage compartment) and unscrew all the screws that block the headlight. We detach the lighthouse from its housing with a lever and disconnect the power supply terminals. After replacing the damaged headlight (with a new one) we mount the new headlight in the sheet metal of the car. We test the correct functioning of the bulbs we have fitted with the new headlight. At the end of the test we tighten all the screws of the rear light.
