    Hi i am new to the forum. i wanted to know if anyone could explain to me how to replace an headlight bulb on the passenger side of an Audi A6 2.7 turbo Quattro. I seen where the Bulb And everything is plugged up. but is it safe for me to unplug it and put in another bulb on my own. and it wasnt alot of space so would i hav to unscrew the whole headlamp to do so? i would really appreciate someone's help. because the Audi place will charge me my left leg for them to do it. thanx

    In that case then, good luck!!! I wanted to change out my blinker bulbs and it would be a huge undertaking. To my knowledge you would have to remove the entire headlamp to get to the bulbs.

    Am I right saying that?

    Passenger side: remove the flex duct between the rad support & air filter box (Bentley says to remove the air box but I found it wasn't needed, and is a real PITA). Pry over the two metal spring clips holding the plastic cover on the rear of the headlight. Disconnect the insulated wire going into the bulb (pull straight off). Turn the black plastic ring holding the bulb and remove it. Reverse for installation. DO NOT touch the glass on the new bulb at any time as the residue from your fingers will cause it to fail very quickly (like tomorrow!). The drivers side is similar without the air duct. You will have to remove the plastic shroud on the reservoir behind the headlight to gain access.
