Default Day Time Running Lights

Could someone please provide the type of bulb that for the day time running lights on 2008 3.2? Also how hard are these to replace? Is this something I can do?

Default DRL bulb on HID cars is type 7506...

As for ease of installation.. I can't say for sure, since I don't own a C6 yet, but I thought I'd chime in with the bulb type since nobody else has. My advice is: see if you can easily reach it and give it a shot.

You can order the bulb online <a href="http://www.genuinevwaudiparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getLocator&siteid=214407&chapter= ERA1352&appSectionid=2295&groupid=2296&subgroupid= 68804&make=2&model=A6&year=2007&catalogid=2">here</a>, or at any general place that sells automotive lighting stuff, online or off.

This exploded diagram might help you visualize the process of replacing the bulb (the DRL bulb is labeled #7):

To do what's in the diagram you have to take the front bumper out first

The back cover, item 4 should tilt and pull up, then you have access to the internals.

I am trying to get the DRL bulb out, but can't get item 8 out of the lamp.

Only if your replacing the HID..the other bulbs come out the back..that's what the removable cover #4 is for.
