Replacing Dipped Beam Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Headlight

Do not insert the ignition key, lift the bonnet and use the support rod. For safety, disconnect the battery. Remove the rear cover of the headlamp and, working somewhat blindly (visibility is poor on this model), disconnect the connector with the dipped beam bulb attached: to remove the bulb, simply pull it with some force, as it is held in place only by clips. Similarly, fit the new bulb into position, ensuring it connects with the connector. Refit the cover and close everything up.
