Before you can start, open the trunk of your Audi A6. Begin by removing the inner cover located on the side of the trunk area. Next, unscrew and remove the bolt that secures the headlight to the vehicle.

This will free the headlight. Proceed to pull the headlight out of its housing, then disconnect and remove the socket, and you will reach the burnt-out bulb.

At this point, disconnect and remove the bulb, and you will have successfully completed the disassembly. To install the new bulb and close everything up, simply follow these steps in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
