How to change indicator bulb on S4 b5

Post by Alps » Mon Jul 02, 2007 11:52 am

Lads, can someone please give me an idiots guide to changing the front, passenger side indicator bulb on an S4 b5 (facelift, in case they were different).

I had a look under the hood this morning but it seemed like an absolute pita to get to the bulb - even with my matchstick arms.

I did a Search on here but couldn't either couldn't find any posts. And when I broadened the search got over 3,500 entries - most of which seemed totally irrelevant :roll:

Thanks

It can be done, just remove the cover from the back of the Xenon to give you a bit more room to get your hand in, then feel for the indicator and turn it 90 degrees (can't rememebr which way) and it will pop out.

Cheers Nige. I'll try again tonight. I'm guessing I can get the bulb from Halfrauds?

Yes, they're the off-set pins type!

Nige. I did it. Changed the bulb. What a mission it was though. See my post in the S4 section and have a giggle :) Thanks for the advice :thumbs:
