2012 audi q5 left lowbeam/dipped headlight replacement HID

[@Burnese-n2o]

The simplest demo for replacing the bulb on a 2012 Q5! Thank you! My right bulb is out, I am gonna attempt the change myself! 😅

[@kevinkeiser3414]

As a dad and mechanic, I find this video the most realistic version of the repair. I'm sure this is exactly how my repair will go!

[@kevinkeiser3414]

Yup. Exactly how it went. I even dropped the vapor plate down into the belly pan as well. Haha.

[@mattbaker5605]

Great video. Just did this on the passenger side. I did not have to touch the air intake. Dealer quoted me $500 for the job. I bought the bulb for $150 and did it in 10 minutes. Don't forget to tighten the the clamp after installing the bulb. It rotates about 45 degrees or so.

[@mikeouellette3913]

Thank You for the video. My 2012 Audi Q5 drivers side head lamp went out. I called dealership and they quoted $350 if the ballast was still good. I went to Autozone and bought the HID replacement bulb. Followed your video and completed the job in about 20 mins.

[@235home]

Thank you for this...big savings over the $375 the dealer would have charged. But what I enjoyed and admired most about the video is the patience you showed you son who wanted so much to help. You are doubtless a great dad (with a great family).

[@lazygourmet2453]

We watched several and yours seemed the best. My 15 year old daughter replaced the bulb following this. Thank you!

[@antoniocelis1040]

As a beginner changing the light on my car this video was just perfect. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼

[@sharadsharmaa]

Thank you very much for the video. I replaced left beam by myself at home. Used $13 a piece HID beam lamps from Amazon. It could be in 100s of dollars at the dealer!

[@waltermoyer5246]

You sir are a genius ... your wife does excellent camera work and your son can wrench on our Q5 anytime! The highly paid mechanic's lost or broke all but three of the shroud clips. Plus only the buttons are left. If anyone is questioning the bulb type it is printed clearly on the side of the assembly. I replaced both in under an hour. It would have been less, it was my first time. I'll gladly send you some cash through PayPal. Just let me know. Thanks for the useful information.

[@golfnwhisky3367]

Perfect directions, saved me big $ for sure. I used 2 flatheads to pry up the clips, be very gentle and take your time or pieces go flying.

[@LandMObo]

haha very true! patience is the hard part!

[@choose2vibe]

Thanks! And good job, Hendrix, you'll get the next one buddy.😊

[@marcelcicort9671]

Best comprehensive video to perform this change - Thank you very much for sharing!

[@JerryTNF]

Thanks again for this. The plastic ring which you can’t see really got me. Thanks for mentioning with way to turn it. It really helped a lot.

[@user-LarryG1261]

thanks for sharing this, helped me out a lot. I removed the airbox as part of it, just could nt see the connector.

[@deliamataure1591]

Lance, you're a star. thanks for this tutorial, it's looks reasonably straightforward. Thank you for explaining it so well. Sally

[@bogdanpantic7778]

Thanks, very useful. I really like your family approach, you're giving more than one valuable message here. My respects.

[@jeffreyfleshman]

Thank you for this video. Great instructions and saved me over $300.

[@kellywilliamson2187]

Okay, you have convinced me to spend the $285 at the dealer - there's no way I wouldn't screw that up! lol

[@jonnyl2250]

Take the front of the car of to change the bulb it’s ridiculous from Audi

[@EllenMitchener]

Thank you! I saved some money on that one. Those clips are easy to break and a lot a few pins but I did it!

[@louie4316]

Thank you so much for making this video, we have a 2014 SQ5 with condensation build up inside the headlights and I needed a how to video on taking out the headlight for resealing.

[@tb3atz719]

Thank you for your instructional video 👌 well done!.

[@Steve-gq9ty]

Cool video. Some family bonding for you guys. That's pretty awesome.

[@kcordes3]

Thank you Lance, this is going to save me a bunch of money and time!

[@LandMObo]

kcordes3 no problem!

[@justanaussie2822]

The smallest person in the house needs the most attention. Only child I’m guessing. Thanks for video though exactly what I was looking for.

[@Atlzphinest]

great vid dude. Took me 3X as long as it did you but you saved me money.....your son is awesome. He's gonna be a great master auto tech someday I bet 😂

[@greglekarczyk6393]

noneo yobizzness do you have a link to the bulb you purchased?

[@Atlzphinest]

@@greglekarczyk6393 Bought it off of ebay

[@MikeTyson2]

Bless you and all the father mechanics but I can't even finish this video

[@erikd8322]

So, if your fingers are dainty enough like mine are, you can literally do this without any tools. Bulbs are H7 and you can buy them at Walmart. Step 1: Remove cover. Step 2: Turn bulb and wires 30ish degrees counter clockwise. Bulb will slide out. Step 3: Pull out old bulb, replace with new bulb. Step 4: Put bulb back in and twist bulb/wire 30 degrees clockwise. Step 5: Replace cover. Step 6: Enjoy a 6 pack knowing you save yourself 30 minutes of life.

[@Lennox1492]

Thank you so much for this video. I think I can do this but damn this is a pain in the ass to change a bulb.

[@beniCeYo]

Hey i have question can you replace the headliners with this method? I mean can u pull it out like this

[@kaamkmca]

Great video. Can I ask does the Q5 S-Line have the same bulb?

[@ashleymakley1142]

Have you ever removed the entire headlight? I'm having issues and I'm going to try cleaning the lense but I can't find all the screws...

[@LandMObo]

i have not removed the headlight fully. from what i understand it should slide all the way out without removing anymore screws.

[@dionismejia4348]

Hello. I have a 2011 Q5 and I want to change the lights to led, but I'm not sure what light numbering to buy. It seems to me they are H7. You could confirm me?

[@jeffreycheng4989]

I was checking on Amazon and I saw DS1/2/3/4... which does the q5 use? Thanks

[@antonioamo]

Great video! Do I have to disconnect the battery before replacing the bulbs? Thank you

[@mvcsantos1]

Hi Lance, I noticed water getting inside one of the headlights of my 2012 Q5. After raining or washing the car, the headlight becomes foggy. To replace the whole headlight, the dealership quote came back insanely expensive. Any ideas on how to fix that?

[@jiayunli5194]

Does anyone know the part number or shop link of that plastic clip 0:19 ? I broke mine while removing it, I don't know where to buy the replacement part that will fit.

[@walou3917]

So what is it that i need. What part

[@ApexOT]

Great video, but next video can you record in landscape for those who watch on computers?

[@greglekarczyk6393]

Hey - any chance you remember the bulb you purchased to replace the dipped headlight? I have the same problem, same car. Thanks

[@LandMObo]

Sorry for the late response. I dont remember the part number but I picked it up at car quest. They were able to pull up the specs from the year make model.

[@marcusewart9464]

Thanks my brother you where very helpful

[@cuxivo7318]

Hi Lance, just wondering where did you buy the headlight Bulb for audi Q5 2012?

[@greglekarczyk6393]

Cuxi Vo same question...lol

[@BigHamm007]

Having trouble getting the bulb out.

[@Pajtimos]

Great vid Lance!! Have u tried replacing the right side bulb??

[@thekeshkesh]

Is that Anthony Hamilton playing in the background?!? But anyway, thanks! You saved me some moolah!

[@LandMObo]

Haha yeah it is Anthony Hamilton. I didn't realize that was playing in the background until now 😂

[@thekeshkesh]
