The procedure for replacing the front headlight bulb on an Audi A3 involves opening the bonnet to loosen the screws that secure the front bumper from the top: once these are unscrewed, you can also loosen those in the front wheel arches and the bottom of the bumper.

This will allow you to detach the bumper by loosening the screws that secure the headlight from the top and bottom: once the headlight is freed, you can completely extract it by removing the inner cover and thus pulling out the bulb contained in the headlight unit.
