9 year old videos still saving lives, thank you sir 🫡🫡
Oh my god, time is running... You're welcome 👍
Your the only man who shows how to pull the daylight bulb. I’ve been turning and turning but by the looks of it you just pull it straight out, thank you.
Easy peasy 👍
Many thanks for this running commentary about changing light bulbs on A6- very helpful
Thank you very much, I have been driving around with one light for at least two weeks and tomorrow i am definitely tackling this, you make it look easy. This is one thing i can avoid taking to the dealer.
You're very welcome:) It's just a bulb - I don't think it should be done by dealership..
Thanks. took about twenty minutes (i am not a mechanic!). would have been messing about for ages without your help!!! (2009 A6)
Thank you. My passenger side buld died coming home from work this morning. I had a look in the hand book and it's the usual refer to dealer (Stealer) job.
I changed it (H7) with the help of your video. My engine bay was slightly different as it's a 2.7 TDi so there are a couple of extra bits in the way. I actually spent more time driving to the local car shop to get some bulbs. Job done, happy subscriber.
Thanks :) Glad if it helps.
Thank you for this post. My Audi A6 2007 3.2 with Xeon lamps was slightly different, but relocating the power steering cup was key to accessing the headlight door. I actually had to push it DOWN, closer to the motor as it could not be moved aside as you show. The DRL (daytime running light) is just a standard bulb even when the main headlights are Xeon. Cheers!
I don't have any experience with xenons, but I'm glad this video helps someone :)
Great video, very clearly explained. I don't my Audi to a dealership because of their charges, but even my local garage would have cost a few quid to do this, as it was £10 for the bulb from Halfords. You're a star, thank you!!
+Neil Russell-Bates You can save on bulbs,too. Last week I bought pack of 10 x H7 bulbs (dipped beam) for 6.88. Whole pack is cheaper that single bulb from Halfords :)
A great reference as always, last time I followed your MMI instructions and saved a fortune, this time just a daylight running light, but still agreat help. Thanks so much.
+Muddy venture You're welcome :)
Great video, thanks for simplifying the process.
Thanks SO much. I just replaced my headlight bulbs following your instructions. Having bought the bulbs online and done the work myself I've saved over £400 on the quote the garage gave me! Thanks again!!!
+David Locke £400? For bulbs? Do they offer free spa massage with that? :)))
+WheelsAndMotors I live in Sweden and the work was the main cost, the two bulbs were also £100 each!
Thanks again!
+David Locke I need to move to Sweden and open bulb changing business :)) Also will be closer to my home country - Latvia.
Great Video really helpful - thanks
FYI I managed to replace the nearside dip bulb without removing the power steering reservoir.
Used your video numerous times for my audi A6 C6. Thank you.
I'm glad that it still helps after all these years 😊
You're a hero. Clearly explained, thank you
Glad to know that it still helps after all these years 😎👍
Thank you so much for this video, I was able to change my drivers side dipped light in under 10 minutes. Initially I thought this job was going to be a misery and able complete the job without having to remove the bottom half of the air filter housing but did have to losen is from its rubber plugs.
You're very welcome :)
This is outstanding! You saved me time and $! Appreciate the great camera work.
Excellent guide and thanks. the 2.7 A6 has a large hose in the way of the steering fluid reservoir, a right angle ratchet on the T30 lets you in. Thanks!!
You're welcome 👍
GREAT VIDEO!!! Cover all corners... thoroughly explained. You have made my day. Actually both; my son and I.
Thanks Carlos, glad if it helps!
@@wawayltd do u just pull wire out
Yes, but try to pull not by wire, but by plug.

You're welcome 😊
Nice tutorial ❤
Thanks 👍
Once again you've saved me considerable money taking my car to the garage or fighting for hours to fit the bulb. Thank you.
You're welcome :)
Clear and to the point great video ..my Audi a6 c6 high beam is a h15 and I went and bought Phillips extreme vision in h1 lol useless now
Sorry Mr House, I didn't know they put different bulbs. Perhaps after facelift. Best thing to do with bulbs - get old one out first to compare..
It's my own fault for not checking my car first. Checked about 5 websites because I was unsure because I know they make factory led lights etc so I was trying to make sure I got the right one of the standard lamps
so much thanks!
great video and guidance, thank you :-)
Welcome :)

You're very welcome :) However I didn't have navigation in that Audi, so can't help, sorry..
Really good video, thank you!
I run into a little problem and the retainer clip for the bulb has come out and I am not sure where to lock it in place so I can put it back.
I can’t seem to find a schematic how it all goes back. Any ideas? 😅
Thanks in advance
Sorry, I don't have that car for about 9 years. I don't remember the setup, sorry.
nice one!
Thanks :)
Very amateur video, but such great explanation, saved me at least 100£ from my mechanic
100 quid for a bulb change? That's one greedy mechanic... 😏
@@wawayltd people got to eat too I guess 😂😂😂
Your welcome.i have now an audi a6c6 2.tfsi.

Im reading alot about walnut blasting on the otherhand
I wanna take self action.i was wondering if you did it before your self?
No, sorry, never done it before..
Good lad, thanks for posting this.
You're very welcome :)
Thank you
+Kristijan Kofelenz Welcome :)
Thank you very much for this video on changing bulbs lights. Was wondering if this method works with 2007 Audi A6 S-Line 4.2?
Great video :-)
I believe your 2007 lights should be the same as my 2005 :)
great !! made my work so much easier - maybe you have some atvise with the gps turning on and off constant ( i have disconnected the fuse for now )
Sorry DJ, I didn't have GPS in that car.
Great 📹 man,how about the fog lights?appreciate it bro
Hello, thanks! Unfortunately I don't have that car anymore... Try this video:
ua-cam.com/video/X8_KDEaFWQw/v-deo.html
Really good, but the wind made the sound terrible on my Matrix 801 S2's
Thanks, sorry about the sound - wasn't as professional back then 😏
THANK YOU for that but I'm going to Europe and i was wondering how to change the light indicationon on the other side of the road wail im drivineg in Europa thak you a i hope u can help.
I know two ways you can prepare your lights for driving on the right side:
1. Re-adjust lights - has to be done in the garage with equipment
2. Easy one - they sell lens stickers - put them on before crossing, when you come back take them off.
Дякую допоміг❤
Не варто подяки 😎👍
hi there very informative. have you had any problems with daytime drl,s. first drivers side drl wouldnt work i changed a front fog bulb and it came back on. now i have no sidelights and the right drl is gone again. it flickers when car is switched on though?
Thanks :) In that car I didn't have drl's. Just main, dipped and side light + indicator. Also I had fog lights on the bumper, but those never been replaced whole life of the car (over 400K miles)
+WheelsAndMotors thanks again.
i just pulled the cover off and realised someone has installed a hid kit. i think the connections were loose as when i pushed it back in the lights came on. doh!
also no sidelights with drl led,s
+Raven croak That's great! I'm glad it's sorted :) Sometimes scary things can be fixed by reconnecting connection.
nice video and sure helped me concerning removing air filter and all...I need to replace my daylight bulbs on mine (bi xenon headlights but location is the same I think) but I could only slightly grip it between my index and middle finger but didn't manage to pull it out...very frustrating...any tips or thoughts on that subject?
+GewoonWouter Sorry, never had xenons..
+GewoonWouter Hi, also need to replace my daylight bulb. Any tips or maybe problems you encountered? Also, do you happen to remember the bulb type? Thank you.
RoHunter it's W5W
RoHunter well RoHunter, lots of patience is needed...you will get some cuts on your hands :D it's basically the same as the non xenon ones, like in the vid, on one side you need to remove the airfilter, and on the other side the servo thingy. After that I just kept on trying and used some pliers...with your hands alone is hard because you can't reach for them properly. It's the W5W type indeed. I replaced them by blue ones because that looks better with the xenons...I've got a link here to show you the correct lamps: www.audiwereld.nl/exterieur-design/verlichting/verlichting-voorzijde/gp-thunder-w5w-t10-xenonlook-stadslicht.html?___store=gb&___from_store=nl
Hope this helps a bit
+GewoonWouter Bedankt :)
+WheelsAndMotors Thank you for the info and indeed for all the videos, very helpful!
I am having trouble with both my Daylight running lights. Neither one is working. My right headlight stopped working too but I replaced the ballast and now the headlight works but still no daytime lights
If it's wiring, I can't help much sorry - I just know how to replace little bulb...
Good luck doing it on a 2.8 V6 , you have to take the headlights out
Hi there!
I've got a same audi a6 as yours but sline.
My question is i'd like to install led bulbs as a main/dipped beam, but the good ones have got a little fan on the end bit which sticks out 50mm, is there enough room in there so i can put the cover back on properly?
Thanks
Please bud can you reply to my comment?
Thanks
Gyomorei Peter I'm sorry my friend, been a bit busy :) I'm afraid this is something out of my knowledge. Do I understand you right - bulb with fan that sticks out 50mm or 5cm (!). All I can say try if it fits, because I can't say without trying myself.. BUT! Be aware - if the resistance of new equipment is different to standard - computer might go funny. Once I tried to fit LED's into number plate illumination - it didn't want to work, so I had to replace with normal bulbs and was lucky to get it back to work, because some people (have a look in forums), had more complicated problems. It was easier in older cars - you put anything that works on 12V - job done. Now computer tries to control/check every bulb to detect fault, and when you fit something not standard - it thinks it's a fault.
Hi!
Thanks for your reply!
Yes its led bulbs with a cooling fan and resistors built in to prevent omd messages appearing on dashboard thats why it sticks out 50mm..
But yeah i'll give it a go thanks to your video i know how to do it now :))
P.s.
Ive replaced all my interior bulbs to led as well as number plate light and it works fine, however i made sure i got canbus error free ones.
Thanks again all the best
Is possible to change the normal light, like you have, with bixenon ? I mean the entire headlight.. not only the bulb.
Everything is possible :) But you may need some adoption (re-programming) with VAG-COM
What size is the day light bulb? For Audi c7 2013 saloon
Sorry, c7 - don't know.
thanks to this video i got 32€. :D
You're very welcome :)
I have a 07 A6 2.0TFSI and my headlight layout is totally different from this. My main beams come with a igniter and i dont even know where the small daylight bulbs are located
I believe - you have xenon lights. I don't have much experience with them...
This small bulbs is not a daylight. Is a possition light
I have an audi a6 2008 so I don't have to replaced the whole headlights? just the bulb? cause my daytime lights work but my night time lights don't work from the front
Yes
@@wawayltd ok thank you imma replaced the bulb...and your video helped
You're welcome 👍
Can't get my hands in front of the air filter box, you don't show air filter box removal there is a 13 mm bolt which is removed (unless there is another method) but the bracket remains in place stopping airbox movement, if you could've shown the complete airbox removal rather than before and after it would be more useful. Getting the hose off the airbox is also a lot of effort. Good video but needs more detail at the beginning.
Removing top of the air filter box should be enough, I have removed the rest just to fit the camera for better view. If you still need to remove whole lot, as far as I remember it should sit on 2 rubber clips, if I remember it correctly.... sorry I don't have that car for about 7 years
Top! -)
Thanks :)
Right side can do any oven ... left not show what ???
Hey, so Dipped beam is H7, High beam is H1, And foglight is H11? I want to convert them to led so would like to know if this is correct
H7 - yes, H1 - yes, foglight - no idea, I don't have that car for about 7 years...
@@wawayltd Okay, thanks for the fast answer anyway!
I have a very unusual query, an insect somehow managed to get inside of my RH light housing, any one know how this could have happened or how to solve?
I'm not sure if light can be taken apart.. and I don't have that car anymore. But I have a video showing how to take lights out, give it a try?
What type of bulb is the small one?
It's t10 side light bulb, 12V, 5W.

Anyone knows any videos of replacing windscreen washer pump??? please!!!
Sorry, Karol, I don't have that car anymore, can't help...
+WheelsAndMotors i do understand but do you know if I'd have to take front bumber off to get to the reservoir or taking wheel off would be enough to get there from under the wheel arch?
+Karol Ciezkiewicz I'll see what I can find out.
+WheelsAndMotors Appreciate it! Thanks
+Karol Ciezkiewicz Apparently, washer pump sits on washer fluid reservoir. To get there, you need to remove front left wheel and inside protection layer (liner inside wheel arch). Then it should be pretty easy - disconnect electric plug, release clip that holds the motor and take ot out. Washer fluid will leak when you take pump out, so be careful :) Hope ot helps.
Is this car has a bixenon ?
No, my car just had normal halogen bulbs.
Wut type if bulb pls h7?h4?
For dipped beam it's H7... unless yours are xenons 😏
Lol...
you do this by turning your whell to max then remove lught screws and access lights.
I don't have that car for about 5 years.. I know that way you can reach turn signals, didn't try to reach rest of bulbs, and I can't try it now. If it works, it's a very good advise, thanks 👍
