Default If you have skinny hands and/or long fingers you don't need to remove the bumper...

I changed mine and all I did was reach my hand in the air duct and switch the bulbs out, but it was kind of a pain in the ***. If you know how to remove the bumper it makes it a lot easier (except removing the bumper is a pain too)

Default All you have to do is....

take off the black filler piece that covers the fog light, get a torks head driver, remove the 3 screws that hold in the fog and remove. Then take the bulb out by twisting the fog light and unplug it.

Hope that helps.

Default If you have an S-line

If you don't, bumper needs to be dropped or if you got skinny hands.

Default after getting some feedback sounds like it would be easier for you to just pull the plastic grill co

vers off but for the non-s-line front bumper cover a4's it looks like you have to take the front bumper off to get access to the fog lights.

damn, most dealers would install fog light bulbs for free but now that the bumper needs to come off looks like Audi can charge another 30min - 1hr labor for the bulb change....GRRREAT!

Are you out of warranty? Bulb replacement is free under warranty at the dealership...
