Ok so i have the low bulb burned out and i cant for the life of me get the carrage out without breaking something.

 

body style and year might help us to help you

 

Yes sorry 2003 A6

 

Just undo the clip on the back of the headlamp housing and pull off the access panel, twist the bright plug with the large power cable going into it anti clockwise a partial turn, pull out the bulb and holder, remove the retainer ring, install the new bulb and put it back in . Don't ever touch new bulb with fingers. Should be 5 minutes.

 

i cant get to all the clips and i cant get the housing out

 

 

ya i still cant get it

 

Work from the BACK of the headlight housing, not the front.

From the pics you are trying to remove the clips that hold the unit together, don't do this. Remove the engine compartment trim panels along the front fenders and the fresh air duct that hide the rear of the headlight units, the clips I mean are on the REAR of the headlamp units.

 

Ok so i got the new bulb in and and it does not work. but the old bulb is burned out.
