How to change Audi TT headlight bulb?
Answered by Iain Kelly · 07 Dec 2018

For Mk2 models use the long Torx-bit and screwdrivers found in the toolkit supplied with the car. The main globes are H7 items and to change them start by opening the bonnet, then pop out the plastic trim that sits between the headlight and the grille by gently pulling it forward. Remove the Torx-headed bolt on the radiator support panel, then remove the two Torx-headed bolts fastening the headlight to the car, hidden at each end of the headlight. The headlight unit slides forward and the globes can be changed from underneath the headlight unit.
