Replacing bulbs on an S4 (B5)

Can anyone give me any advice on replacing the bulbs on my S4 (B5) ?

I want to replace the indicators bulbs, and the foglamp bulbs. The Bentley manual (and Erwin) only seems to cover the regular A4 with two piece lamps. And the grills that the foglamps mount in are also different to the regular A4 [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Thanks in advance

I can't help with the foglamps, but in the one-piece lamp units, the indicator bulbs will easily come out the back by twisting the connector/holder (i.e. a bayonet fitting). However space is tight so maybe you'll need to release the unit in order to get access.

Carps, the fog lamps are even easier [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] just grab the middle bit of plastic of the grille where the fog lamps are located and give it a sharp tug on the end nearest the outside of the car. You can then remove the fog lamps via the 3 x philips screws.

p.s. the drivers side sidelight is a b*tch - you might be better of removing the air box.
