In this video, see how to replace the dipped headlight bulbs in the Audi A3. To do this, first remove the bumper, as access to the rear of the headlight is impossible otherwise. Start by unscrewing all the fixing screws, beginning with those in the wheel arch, then move on to the bottom screws, and finally the upper ones.

Once removed, unscrew the bolts securing the headlight, disconnect the connector, and open the rear cover. To remove the bulb, simply turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise.

Finally, fit the replacement and reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
