Hi guys,can somebody please tell me how to get the headlights out of my rs6?ive had a quick look,but cant see all the fixings!

thanks shaun

The headlights are held in with three torx bolts, two on top and one at the bottom of the light. The one on the bottom can be accessed through a small hole in the fender next to the headlight. The proper way to remove the headlights requires the removal of the bumper to get the lights out of the openings. If you don't remove the bumper you have to do some disassembly of the lights in a very small space running the risk of scratching things.

Here are some instructions for removing them without removing the bumper:

My recommendation is to remove the bumper. With the bumper removed the lights come out with ease.

I would definitely say remove the bumper, it's an awkward job and takes quite a bit of time if you do it on your own, but I could not see any other way to get the lights out myself.
