A2 Headlights

TonyR · 07-01-2005, 09:40 AM

The headlight cluster on an A2 are almost impossible to access the usual way - from the inside. I have managed to change both near and off side headlight bulbs but trying to renew the nearside front signalling bulb has defeated me. My local AUDI garage cannot advise me how to do it on health and safety grounds!!!!! apparantly danger of electrocution!!- but they would change it for me for the sum of £25.00 +VAT

Grateful for any ideas.

Hi
I have just changed my side light/dip beam and main beam what a job that is,there is no room to work at all. I did mine with the aid of a mirror and torch.but halfords offer to change bulbs for £5. dear but cheeper than your quote giv them a try.The other way is to take out the light unit itself if you take all the unit out you wont mess up the headlight alignment.hope this helps

I used Halfords for a bulb change- nice and cheap but they didn't replace the rear cover properly and water got into the light enclosure. Audi garage near Macclesfield fixed this free of charge.
