How do you change the headlight on a 2004 Audi A6?

To change a headlight on a 2004 Audi A6, you will need:

1. A replacement headlight bulb (the correct bulb type will depend on the model and year of your vehicle)

2. A Phillips-head screwdriver

3. A pair of pliers

Once you have gathered your tools, follow these steps:

1. Park the car on a flat surface, and turn off the parking brake.

2. Pop the hood of the car.

3. Locate the headlight housing on the side of the car that you are replacing the lightbulb on.

4. There are two Phillips-head screws holding the cap of the headlight housing in place. Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to remove these screws and remove the cap.

5. Once the cap is removed, you will see the back of the headlight housing. There is a metal clip that holds the bulb in place.

6. Squeeze the clip and remove it.

7. Remove the old bulb by turning it counterclockwise.

8. Insert the new bulb by turning it clockwise until it is snug.

9. Replace the clip and re-install the cap of the headlight housing.

10. Replace the Phillips-head screws and close the hood of the car.

Test the new bulb by turning on the headlights. If the new bulb is not working, check to make sure that it is properly seated and that the clip is installed correctly.
