This video is for DIY-ers that want to save a little money doing the job themselves and learn along the way.
This project was done on a 2011 Audi A5 (2.0T); however, the job is very similar for all makes and models.

I get it now, so if you need to replace the headlight bulb on an Audi a5 2011 you need to remove the hood, the doors, the transmission, the wheels, the rotors, the suspension, your steering wheel, your radio, your seats, your dashboard then it'll a piece of cake to swap a bad bulb with a new bulb.

For those with OEM in mind... look for Philips brand DS3 bulbs. They cost much more but are the OEM brand for Audi/Merc/BMW/et al.

Osram Classic Xenarc D3S is also an excellent choice (bang for buck).

Hey Tyler I finally got my headlight bulbs that I want to replace the old ones with. Question is, do I need to run diagnostics or is it not necessary? Reason I ask is because the other day I was working on the center overhead console, if that's what you call it, and my sunroof suddenly wasn't working anymore. After many attempts to get it to work I finally gave up and went to the auto mechanic and the guy said reason was because I unplugged the sunroof cable and that caused the software to reset...??? (picture me with a confused look). So he ran diagnostics and got the sunroof back up and running. So now im wondering if thats gonna happen with the headlights if I unplug them etc etc.???

@tylerhite9287 4 года назад
Jeff Jeff that is odd but I could believe it, it’s a German car after all lol. I just unplugged the cables to the headlight housing and had no issues. I am no Audi expert but I don’t believe Audi would make it so the owner would have to reset software to replace a bulb. Hope this helps!

I bought those same lights for my Audi as well. How well have they worked for you? & you should make a video on replacing the high beam bulbs. 👌🏼
@tylerhite9287
@tylerhite9287 4 года назад
Sorry for the late response, it’s gotten a lot of use but something I did notice is that it is a slightly different hue than the other bulb, I’d recommend buying the bulbs in a pair if you don’t mind the colour difference

There is the main H/L headlight, turn signal and some other smaller light. What is that one. I have never seen it lit. I bought it used. Anyone know?
@tylerhite9287
@tylerhite9287 2 года назад
I’m not exactly sure which one you’re talking about, also don’t have the car anymore so I can’t refer to it. I could be wrong but I think Audi made another headlight assembly for some of these models where they had halogen bulbs and even no led run lights. Could be wrong though.

@tylerhite9287
@tylerhite9287 4 года назад
Jeff from what I can find it does appear to be the same bulb. Don’t quote me on this but when looking up the headlamp for each model they appear to be the same DS3 headlamp.

@jeffreycheng4989 4 года назад
@@tylerhite9287 Alright thanks! Also, which would you recommend better, Xenon or LED?
@tylerhite9287
@tylerhite9287 4 года назад
Jeff I would personally go with xenon. It you were to convert to led i am pretty there is some wiring you would have to play with so they don’t flicker and so they could perform well. There may be something plug and play out there but none that I am aware of. The OEM xenon bulbs look good and are very bright so I would just stick to OEM, I would recommend replacing both bulbs at the same time though because the bulbs may be a very slightly different hue, in my case the bulb I replaced is a slightly more yellow hue than the OEM white.
@jeffreycheng4989
@jeffreycheng4989 4 года назад
@@tylerhite9287 Thanks a lot Tyler! I definitely agree with you on that and decided I will go with xenon.

You should be able to simply reach down through the space on the side, pop it out, and push the replacement in…without taking all of the cowlings off. There are other videos on this.

i did this and headlight still didnt work .. do you think its a fuse ?
@tylerhite9287
@tylerhite9287 11 месяцев назад
I would recommend looking in the owners manual and having a look at the fuse. It could be a defective bulb/ ballast you bought, even a change of a damaged headlight connector or wiring harness but that is less likely.

@Tyler Hite I'm having the hardest time sliding out the head light assembly. It's like it's caught on something. I don't want to force it out. Am I doing something wrong?
@tylerhite9287
@tylerhite9287 2 года назад
@@terrillcollins3542 I would check to see if it’s catching on your fender or bumper possibly, especially if the vehicle went through some repairs in those areas at some point. If those bolts are undone and the plug is removed, that’s my best guess as to why it won’t come free

@tylerhite9287
@tylerhite9287 3 года назад
It’s an HID bulb. Link in the description. Can order one through pretty much any auto parts store or rock auto. I’d definitely recommend replacing both at the same time because the hue on each lamp might be slightly different so they’ll appear to be a different colour

T30 bit is truly the only handtool needed to complete a Audi headlamp assembly removal/headlight bulb replacement. Truly an easy DIY project... particularly when it saves you nearly four hundred dollars in "labor costs" alone.
