Before you start, open the boot of your Audi A3. First, unclip and remove the screw cover that secures the rear lamp, then unscrew and remove the screw itself. This will free the lamp.

Next, pull the lamp out of its housing and disconnect the electrical connectors to access the back of the bulb holder. Unscrew and remove the screws that secure the bulb holder to the lamp, and you will reach the blown bulb.

At this point, unclip and remove the blown bulb, completing the disassembly. To fit the new bulb and close the lamp, simply follow these steps in reverse, and you will have completed the replacement.
