Default 2006 A6 3.2 Sedan Headlight Replacement

Hey Guys,

I've been searching the forums and I can't find a DIY for the headlight replacement. I need to get some new brighter HID bulbs in my car, and last time I tried replacing a bulb I couldn't get it in right. I couldn't get it into one of the brackets that held it tight in there, and as a result, it came loose and blew an ignitor.

Got an ignitor fixed and a new bulb but I don't want to fight that again.

any help would be appreciated.

Hi Matt,

So you're looking for a bulb replacement, not an actual headlight replacement. The later requires you to remove the front bumper...I've done it before

Here's the guide on replacing your bulbs: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...eplacement.pdf

Awesome! thanks!

My biggest worry is that clip that goes over the ballast. What does that attach too? That's what I messed up last time.
