How to Replace the Rear Indicator Bulb on an Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Tail light

Position the car on a ramp or flat surface and immobilise it. Now, open the boot lid and, inside, corresponding to the rear light where you want to replace the indicator bulb, remove the small plastic cover using a screwdriver. Inside the hole, you will find a bolt (to be removed with a flat screwdriver); once this is undone, you can remove the entire rear light assembly. After this, proceed to remove the part inside the light assembly by unscrewing the 2 small bolts, as shown in the images. In the part you just removed, all the bulbs of the light are mounted. To replace them, simply remove them from their sockets and fit the new ones. To reassemble the entire unit, repeat all the steps shown in the images in reverse order.
