Default Headlight bulb access?

Okay, I am completely lost on how to access the H7 headlight bulbs in my 03 A4. Did a search and found only general "unscrew bolts, pull off cover, replace bulbs" replies. I see 2 torx screws at the top of the headlight housing, but unscrewing them only seems to loosen the entire assembly a little bit. Should I be doing something in the back of the housing? Everything looks pretty tight and I can't find anything obvious that would give access to the bulbs? Help please?

Default there are the two torx head screws on top that u can see, then two same torx head down lower

you can see them if you look down there. So its a total of four torx heads per headlight. (its not hard to remove headlight) You take out both top ones and LOOSEN bottom ones, then just slide head light out, and change whatever bulbs u want. Then slide it back in and replace top torx head screws and tighten bottom ones. On the bottoms they r kind of hard to reach without proper tools. But if u have a longer screw driver with proper torx head its a breeze.

Default Thanks again bro. I got the bulbs installed. The first time...

I accidentally put them into the high beam slots. Didn't know that H7s would fit them too!
