Audi A3 bulb changing
Silly question, but does anyone know how to gain access to the brake light bulb on a current model, 3 door, Audi A3. It's not obvious from
looking which panels you have to remove in boot.
Owners manual says " take it to dealer"
Thanks,
Simon

the pins that fit into the rubber bungs on the sides are a pita to get out though. a long screwdriver to pry them usually helps. there's 2 on
each cluster, on the very front edge.

Thanks guys, job done.
You were right about the pins which fit into the rubber bushes.
Only problem I had was fitting the small plastic trim covers back on, managed to drop them both inside the rear panel somewhere, never mind.
Can't. be bothered to dismantle the interior boot panel to retrieve them.
Interestingly, this is my sister in law's car and an AA guy she was talking to yeserday said he could fix, but when he had a look he said it
looked too difficult so left it.
