HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS POST W/ PICS
so i got a new set of e-codes for my 96 A4 2.8Q and started taking the old headlights out and ran into a few problems
Look at these pictures below and ill explain....
1. I removed the top four torx screws.
2. I removed the turn signal assembly fine and then tried the remove the front headlight but it wouldn't even move.
3. Then I found this screw and thought that this might loosen the headlight up so i could slide it out. But my problem was that the bumber was in the way for my screwdriver to fit in there. What should i do. Do i even need to remove this screw or does it stay. Anything is helpful, thanks everybody.
thanks!!!

I saw your pics and this is what you need to do:
REMOVE YOUR BUMPER!!
There are 4 screws actually that you need to remove:
the 2 on the top;
the one on the side (that you can't reach right now);
and one on the left of your headlight (you can't see it right now without removing your bumper)
To remove your bumper, youll need to remove the torx screws located within both fenders and 2 long bolts that are located where your fog light section is.
It's really easy. It seems intimidating, but it's not.
There's some DIY's floating around here as well. Look for the one that deals with timing belt replacement. Do a search for them and that'll help as well.
Good luck
