Exclamation HELP!! How to replace tail light

I have an A8L 2004.
I wanted to know how to replace the tail light, especially the light that is on the trunk door. How do I remove the trunk inside palnel in order to do it?
Thank you,
A.

Yup!

I think Repair Group 70 covers the Deck Lid Interior Trim. And then Repair Group 94 covers the actual lamp assembly itself. It'll be a breeze!

Yes.

Anyone who plans to do their own car repairs needs tools...the manual is a necessary tool. There is no online guide to your "request". In 110K miles, I've never had a failed tail light, so.....

My D2 manual (which I bought) does not cover your year.

Thanks for your input. Is the manual easy to use?

Default CD or DVD ROM?

There is also a DVD ROM for repairs.
Amazon.com: Audi A8, A8L, S8 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Repair Manual on DVD-ROM (Windows 2000/XP) (9780837612591): Audi of America: Books
Now which one is better? The DVD or the DC?
Thanks,

If you have a DVD-ROM drive on your computer you can get either one, but the DVD is a little more efficient (I think they're still the same price, right?). If you have a pretty old computer that only has a CD-ROM drive, you would go with CD instead of DVD.

I have either one (DVD or CD drive) on my PC. What wonder about is, if there are film/footages on that DVD, what CD doesn't have?!
I just want to get the one which has the best and the most efficient info.
Tnx,
