How to Change Audi TT Headlights
Maintenance for an Audi TT can be somewhat expensive. If you take the time to do minor maintenance on your vehicle, it could save you a lot of money in the long run. Replacing a burnt out headlight on an Audi TT is easy once you know the steps to take.
- Go to an auto supply store that carries Audi TT equipment.
- Ask if they have Audi TT headlight bulbs.
- Choose between a high-intensity bulb and a bulb that is a light-emitting diode. Purchase the appropriate headlight bulb.
- Park your car in a location that is flat.
- Turn the car off and allow the engine to cool for a bit so that you do not get burned while you are replacing the burnt out bulb.
- Open the hood of the Audi TT and find the wiring harness for the headlight bulb that has burnt out and needs to be replaced.
- Locate the two screws holding it in place and carefully loosen them with the screwdriver.
- Do not completely remove the screws as they could fall into the engine and be easily lost.
- Carefully pull the wiring harness.
- Turn the locking ring on the wiring harness in a counterclockwise motion and pull the locking ring from the headlight assembly.
- Press the tabs that are located on the side of the headlight bulb and carefully pull it out.
- Place a new headlight bulb in the headlight assembly.
- Turn the locking ring on the wiring harness in a clockwise motion and plug the wiring harness back into the headlight assembly.
- Make sure to fully tighten the screws so that the headlight assembly does not become dislodged while driving.
- Test the bulb to make sure that the headlight is working properly before you begin to drive the car.
