Yes, many people around here know how to do that.

Takes about 45 minutes. Not hard. Just time consuming.

OK. Enough joking, though we answered your direct question.

I can see you are in a real trouble with your HID bulbs, but also with double and triple posting here.

You get access to headlights by removing front wheels and wheel well liners. From there it is quite simple.

Gentlemen,

I have 2004 A8L 88K kms and have just got front head light fault. It appears to be the passenger side low beam xenon light not working.

I researched the topic and found that require to remove wheel and wheel well liner to get access to the light area. The all data DIY states to remove the upper air filter housing.

I have a couple of questions:

1) It states in users manual as well as in All data DIY to use extreme caution as high voltage can cause serious injury or death. All data DIY procedure says to disconnect ground battery terminal prior to work on the headlight bulb. There is a procedure on how to disconnect/connect the battery:

Connect battery:

•First connect positive wire pole shoe - 4 - by hand to battery positive pole "+" and tighten nut.

•Connect ground wire pole shoe - 2 - by hand to battery negative pole "-" and tighten nut.

If the battery is reconnected, the following measures must be performed:

¤ Deactivate Telematics control module service mode. Refer to ......(missing information in the procedure)

Question: I am not sure what is the telematics control module and how to deactivate the service mode there. (I have the Ross Tech)

¤ Activate electric window regulator 1-touch up/down feature. Refer to Owner's Manual.

Question: Does it mean to just to roll the window down and up?

¤ Turn ignition key in ignition lock left as far as stop one time

Question: They are asking to turn ignition key counter clock wise?

Appreciate your help!
