Default very carefully =)

audi REALLY makes it a bit*h to get to bulbs... the signals have a really long thin turning **** thingy that looks like an airplane wing that has the bulb at the end of it... you have to CAREFULLY twist it off to get to the bulb...
I stress CAREFULLY or you will bust the bulb... the hard part is to twist it tight enough to get it back on.... hopefully you have small hands or someone that does close by... it woulda been easier if my hands weren't so big...

Default So you've taken them off before????

I have small hands (yes, I know what that means... small gloves, heh heh) but I can't get in there to remove the bulb holder. And even if I did, I couldn't even imagine getting it back in.

Were you able to do this without removing anything else... like the headlights, or air intake thingamajig???

Default Like Griffy, I've done it on my A6...

...And it is a Bitch. It's even MORE tricky on the allroad... Note: your owners manual says to have bulbs replaced by your authorized dealer because "Some componets of the engine must be removed to reach the bulbs successfully". 8-)

Good luck - I had tiny hands... No comments please!
