How to Replace the Rear Brake Light Bulb on an Audi A3

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

To replace the brake light bulb of the rear lamp, you must first remove the lamp: once the rear bonnet is opened, locate the caps on the inner lining of the boot that correspond to the lamp's housing. After removing the caps, access the plastic nuts that secure the lamp to the body, which can be unscrewed with a screwdriver or a 10 mm socket. After removing the fixing screws, take out the lamp from its housing and disconnect the lamp holder to replace the bulb (bayonet fitting).
