Default Need Guide to Accessing the headlight bulbs

Have an Audi Q7 2013. Adaptive HID Headlights with H7 bulb side lights for cornering.

The left side turning light H7 seems to have dimmed sightly, gone yellow. I'm thinking might as well upgrade both sides to blue tinted H7 halogen bulbs (can't use LED as they will give Canbus errors).

There is a finger grip plug at corner of a large housing cover. I pulled it out, but the casing won't come off to reveal the H7 plug and bulb. Can anyone who has done this before, give me rough guide. The instruction manual does not seem to explain that housing cover.

Thanking all in this great group.

The plug is at the bottom of the headlight, you'll need to pull it out. There is one tab to press down on the side and one pull out clip on the inside. Then simply pull out and unplug the connector.

Thank you very much to both wonderful members.
I didn't realise the entire housing needs to be detached.

I shall follow it well.

Great thanks

Great tip, I should have known this when fiddling with replacing the DRL earlier
