How to Replace the Third Brake Light Bulb on the Audi A3?

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

To replace the third brake light bulb on the Audi A3, open the boot to access the inside of the rear hatch. Here, you will need to unscrew the two screws that secure the lower internal cover of the hatch; once this is removed, you can detach all the other covers up to the one corresponding to the third brake light. This way, the light can be pushed from the inside out, disconnecting its connector. Now, the bulb can be extracted and replaced with a new spare part.
