Default yuppers! i think you'll have to remove the housings first (4screws each)...

then just pop off the rear covers and your in.

Default shouldnt have to remove the housings.... thats way to much work

just pop off the back while they are still on the car

obviously make sure your car is cool first

for the passenger side headlight, you might have to just pull off the intake tubing, it pops right out(that section does) and you can get to the back of the headlight

so, the best way would be to remove the entire light?

Default .... well based on this, you are right

if this is in fact true, this is a very poorly desgined headligth system. ive never had a car where i had to take out the headlight to get to the bulbs... even in my b5<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/823471.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/823471.phtml</a</li></ul>
