Update: How to change an A4 rear light bulb!!! :460:
How do you change an A4 Brake light bulb?
I can not figure how to get into the rear light cluster in order to change a blown lamp. Please help... is anyone out there??? Come on guys, if you know please spare a minute to share this info. Audi wanted £22+VAT to change a light bulb and wouldn't tell me how to do it myself. There are no removable panels in the boot like on slightly older models. I have had my hand behind the boot liner (breaking a retaining clip in the process and all I can feel is the wiring loom entering through a rubber grommet into the light cluster. There are a lot of people viewing this forum so other people must be wondering the same. Can someone please help?
It's OK I figured it out myself. There is a screw under a circular cover in the boot lining close to the light cluster. Remove it using an 8mm socket. It can be a little fiddly to remove once it's unscrewed so a pair of long nosed pliers may come in handy. Once removed the entire rear light cluster can be extracted from the exterior of the car and the lamp holder simply unclips. Easy......when you know how. From this day forward the 8mm socket will forever live in the boot of my car !! :460:
