bulb replacement - 2003 Audi Allroad Quattro

[wheely]

I need to replace the front turn signal bulb (drivers side) in my allroad quattro, but I'm not sure how to get in there. I've loosened the light fixture, but I doesn't come out. Can anyone give me some tips.

I noticed you posted this sometime ago, did you get a response? I posted almost the same problem inthe DIY column a while back, but figured it out later myself. You don't need to loosen the headlight assembly at all. The signal light bulbs are accessible by twisting out a plastic bulb holder from behind the signal light assembly. The bulb holder comes right out, with the bulb, you can replace the bulb, then put the holder back in. It is a bit tricky to get in, but a few tries will do it.

To gain access, you need to remove the black plastic cover over the power steering reservoir. Just wiggle it and unclick the plastic barbed tabs. Once this cover is out of the way, you can then just squeeze your hand in to remove the bulb holder. You'll be able to see the end of it with a flashlight. It has a flat end like a tongue depressor/popsicle stick, and is white plastic.
