    Hi all

    As topic really, has anyone replaced the front indicator bulbs in a prefacelift A6? I attempted it tonight but after removing the front cover panel and rubber seals on the headlight, they seam impossible to twist and remove. Any advise greatly appreciated!

    Driver or passenger side?

    the bulb is held in by push clips on either side. It’s extremely tight and fiddly

    I have done them but I lost some skin in the process!!

    Both sides I want to change. My Sline has zenons but standard indicator bulbs. Strip on the back though.
    Hmm yeah the way they are set into the headlight makes getting your fingers round the socket very hard! Thanks for the replies, I'll have another go soon.

    Divers side you will have more room by removing the airbox. It’s not much but it does help!

    Passenger side does have a little more room but ideally you need very small hands!
