Hi All,

How do you go about changing xenon headlight bulbs on A8 2010?

it looks @ first glance pretty sealed around headlights…

is it a headlight out job?

All help would be appreciated…

 

Thanks

This is how you change it: 

2.5 Renewing bulb for dipped beam head‐

lights

Removing

– Switch off ignition and take out ignition key.

– Turn light switch to position “0”.

– Remove appropriate front wheel.

– Remove relevant front wheel housing liner ⇒ Rep. gr. 66 .

– Loosen locking bolt -1- a few turns.

– Release retaining tabs -arrows- and detach housing cover for

dipped beam headlights from headlight housing.

 

Audi A8 2003 ➤ Electrical system - Edition 08.2014

132 Rep. gr.94 - Lights, bulbs, switches - exterior

But you can take the bumper off and headlight out if you wish. Pictures for reference to show what it looks like behind the wig and bumper etc.

they are an absolute pain in the bum to change.  but going in thru the wheel well is the quickest and "easiest"

Make sure you have a axel stands and not working under there with the car held up by the jack.

I use wheel blocks and axel stands every time now after a near miss some years ago that seen a shogun fall off a jack and narrowly miss taking a friends arm off at the shoulder.
