To replace the headlight bulb on an Audi A6, open the hood to access the engine compartment and remove the plastic cover over the headlight by loosening the appropriate screws. Once the cover is removed, detach the circular cap located at the back of the headlight: underneath it, you will find the connector, which must be disconnected to allow the old bulb to be removed from its housing.

Replace it with a new bulb, connect it to the connector, and insert it back into its housing.
