AUDI A3 8P - How To Remove Rear Boot Tailgate Switch Handle Number Plate Lights Removal 2004-2012 

Five minute video "and that's it removed" .......me outside ALL WEEKEND turning the air blue. Thank you though, much help/appreciated.

Thanks man, nicely detailed! My lights are corroded, hopefully a bitnof elbow grease and I can sort them 🤞🏻

Fantastic video that’s clear and easy to follow

thank you!!!!! this video is so much helpful

Solid walkthrough

So needed this video, as replacing with camera handle trim. Can the handle trim come out with the numberplate still in place, or does removing the numberplate make it easier?

Hello, are there also only 2 screws on sportback 5door?

One of my registration plate lights doesn't work and I replaced with a new bulb and it still doesn't work--I have power coming to the terminals in the boot so maybe the terminals on the bulb holder are misaligned and not making contact--in any event an investigation needed as it is an advisory on our Nct (car test). Good video.

Hi! Thanks for this video, it might come in handy for me. I own a -09 A3 8P and I recently got a warning light on my dash that the register plate lights are gone. I changed the bulbs around 6 months ago so I thought the bulbs can't be gone so soon. I took the lights out and the bulbs looked like they were in really good shape. I was wondering if this part could be the issue? I'm doing more testing with a multimeter tomorrow to see if there's electricity going to the tailgate switch handle (the boot still opens normally by the handle, so I think it has to be a failure in contact surfaces that the register plate lights go to) I don't know the actual name for the handle part + I live in Finland so I haven't found this part online yet. I was wondering if you knew the serial number for the part that you removed, It would really help me in finding this part if I have to go and change it. Do you recon there could be something else wrong that would cause the register plate lights not to work but the handle to open the boot is still working fine? Thank you so much for the video!

Where do you find the boot tailgate sensor that indicates whether the tailgate is "closed or open"? Mine has failed on my 2006 A3, and I'm having no luck finding info on the part #, or location under the trim.

Nice vídeo, perfectly and clearly done. These 8P'S licence plate lights overheat once in a while and the support of the lights bulb which are made of plastic starts to melt and the whole thing stop functioning . The way to go is to buy a new one and put it on! PN 8P48275743FZ

hi there my lights have gone is that part sealed unit or as have no reg plate lights at mo

Cabriolet has a keyed lock above handle, how do I remove this part?

My boot door opens intermittently, more times it doesn't than it does, even with the remote. Would it be the switch or the motor?

I had a light out changed this and the same light is still not working does anyone know what the problem is ?

Rear boot sensor, where is this. My boot gives this is open but is not open
