To replace the front headlight bulb on an Audi A3, loosen the screws located inside the wheel arch of the corresponding front wheel: once these screws are loosened, you can remove the wheel arch liner and access the components inside. Here, you will need to pull off the internal protective cover of the headlight, allowing you to extract the bulb and replace it with a new one, disconnecting it from the corresponding connector.

Once the new bulb is inserted, close the headlight and reposition the internal cover of the wheel arch.
