Hi,

Just bought my wife a 1999 110 TDi SE A4 Saloon and had a good look round it this weekend and noticed the drivers side sidelamp has blown.

Took the air feed pipe off to try to find the bulb - no joy.

Could get to the dipped bulb, but not the main beam or sidelight.

Is there an easy way to change the bulb without removing the whole headlight?

Also, anyone know where I can get a centre cap for the 8 spoke Alloys on the SE model.

Thanks

Cornish,

You should be able to tug on the wire that hold it in place and pull it out.
