Default Special tool needed

I am new to the forum, Hello =) I have searched and not found an answer. I have a '08 A4 S line and I wanted to change the light bulb to a Sylvania or more white. I can't seem to take it off. On my other cars, usually it is clipped down and all I do is unclip and I am able to remove. On the '08 A4 Sline no clip. So I am wondering is there a special tool or I am not seeing something that need to push. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the headlights? You'll have to mostly pull the bumper off to access the screws that hold in the housing.

Here's a DIY: http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?p=23169492

to remove the bulbs, you should have tiny hands because at times it is hard to maneuver there. you pop out the rear cover and insert your hands to remove the bulb.

stock bulb on non-xenon lights are h7.

I was able to remove it yesterday. I used a curved needle nose pliers and grabbed it by one of the prongs and popped out. Yup, you do need small hands. Big hands are not able to pinch the prongs on those bulbs. Don't have enough grip with access that it has on the back. Thanks for your help.
