The 5 minute foglight bulb swap on the non Sline A4....
« on: October 03, 2005, 04:46:08 PM »
Just wanted to dispel the rumor that the bumper needs to be pulled to change fog bulbs...

Just stick your hand in there and turn the socket counterclockwise (if you were staring at the socket head on from the engine compartment or it would be clockwise if you are staring at it from in front of the car).   Note:  Make sure you use a rubber gloved hand to keep oil off the bulb.



Now as you can see there is more than enough slack to swap the bulb (think Audi designed it to be this way?)

Now weed it back through using the gloved hand.  As you can see in this picture I have circled the white latex parts to show you my fingers are working the bulb back in.  Now just turn the socket back so it is facing with the wires in the due south direction.



cheers! Mike

What would be a good option for Bulbs to match the Xenons?

Its funny about a week ago i stuck my hand through the vent to try but i ended up scratching my hand up... Now that i know it can be done im going to give it another try or maybe get my GF to stick her lil hands in there. I was thinking of going through the bottom removing the splash guard is that possible also or no need to.

I ahve try to to turn the bulb clockwise on my car by reaching from front grilled and it is hard as it can to turn it. I don't want to break light projector. Is there some time of LOCK behind the projector or something bc it looks like there is one.

You need to feel and wiggle it out.  If you turn it too far, the tabs will catch and lock itself again.
