Audi A4 2009 - 2016 Headlight Bulb Replacement DIY!

[@Legend20002001]

This was so helpful. Bought two bulbs at Auto Zone for $145 each, and then came home to swap them out. In less than 16 mins, each bulb was replaced and back to rocking and rolling! Truly appreciate it.

Glad to help! You are welcome!

Those are expensive bulbs???

Great video, took us a while to get the replacement light back into the slot, and never heard the click that we can hear in your video, but it appears to be in and the light works. Now gotta build up the courage to do the one on the passengers side, lots of pieces to move and knowing how long the drivers side took us I’ve gotta be prepared to start it, lol Thanks for posting

[@SmackeysGarage]

Glad i could help. Passenger side is definitely more tricky, but you can do it!@

[@daveturner1956]

Great video but can you tell me is this one bulb headlight and main beam

[@SmackeysGarage]

Yes, one bulb for both.

[@daveturner1956]

@SmackeysGarage thanks again 👍

[@SmackeysGarage]

Glad to help!

Do you know the exact name of the pins you took out at? 4:20

[@SmackeysGarage]

Radiator Support Access Cover Clip. Google that and they should pop up.

Thanks for saving me $500. Dealer quoted me 550 but i bought the Osram lamp for 52 on amazon, done in under one hour. I am not DIY friendly person. Two notes of caution 1) my car is 10 year old so the clips to remove front cover were breaking. 2) new lamp has a rubber base instead of metal. Which made it difficult to twist and snap in position. Awkward lamp position did not allow enough torque from hand so I ended up using wrench. Yes wrench, and it worked like a charm.

[@SmackeysGarage]

Glad to hear I could help and save you some money! Those are good notes for people who attempt this project. I've heard a few people that said the clips to remove the front cover are breaking. Probably worth replacing those when time allows for it. Interesting you used a wrench to get it turned in place. Glad to hear it worked!

[@raresandrei2404]

I would assume is basically the same procedure for the halogen version as well?

[@SmackeysGarage]

Yes, I believe it is.

[@Framedbyec]

I have a 2015 b8 Rs5 do they take the same bulbs and is the process the same ? My issue is on the (easy) side the drivers side

[@SmackeysGarage]

I don’t specifically know. Awesome car by the way. The bulb it should take is in the manual. I’d assume they are likely the same but you’d have to check

[@GHOOGLEMALE]

Perfect, just perfect video explaning how to do this - Off to do mine - Thank you from across the pond

[@SmackeysGarage]

Glad it helps!

[@drxiz]

what tools and sizes do I need to replace the left side.

[@SmackeysGarage]

Drivers side you don't need anything. (On LHD cars)

[@drxiz]

@ sorry , I meant the passenger side I didn’t explain myself well.

[@SmackeysGarage]

@@drxiz You need a torx toolkit and basic tools to take it apart. The torx kit I use is listed in the description of the video. You could get by with just buying single bits if you want.

[@JulianSainz-e4p]

any help with replacing the drl bulbs? i am buying a new headlight but it does not come with the drl bulbs. i can't seem to find any videos on how to install them

[@SmackeysGarage]

Do you have the LED DRL setup?

[@JulianSainz-e4p]

@@SmackeysGarage not sure what you mean by the set up these housings have a spot for the high/low beam bulb but what i do not know is where you add the drl lights for the strip.

[@musclecarmitch908]

Great replacement video!👍

[@SmackeysGarage]

Thanks Mitch!

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video brother? Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT

[@SmackeysGarage]

Thanks! Hope you’re having a great Tuesday as well!

[@mikejones5431]

I’m gonna have to go with this video and just get my hands inside the cap because i can’t seem to disconnect the electrical part so i can get the assembly out. Lol the push function is and was completely broke since this is pre owned and it’s hard for me to slide out. And when i tried to pry it the shit just started to crack like an egg lmao. But i’m just gonna go behind the light cap bc i’m not paying 400$ labor costs. Thank you sir

[@SmackeysGarage]

That's crazy that it is cracking like an egg lol. Probably just old and brittle. Good luck taking it apart and trying to get it out. I'd say last resort is take the headlight housings out.
