Same here. My 2000 B5 A4 tells you to refer to the dealer. Oh Yeah !!! It's
easy to do on my 2.8 B5. Takes 2 minutes. Good job as they blow all the time

How many people does it take to change a light bulb on an Audi?

Re: Replacing headlight bulb on 2002 A4 1.8T Quattro
Robert, Ya really want to know? The answer (shamelessly stolen from a
Microcar newsgroup posting) is:
183.....
One to change the light bulb and to post that the
light bulb has been changed.
Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing
light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.
Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light
bulbs.
Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in
posts about changing light bulbs.
Five to flame the spell checkers.
Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.
Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
Another six to condemn those six as stupid.
Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry
and give the correct spelling.
Nineteen to post that this group is not about light
bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb)
forum.
Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that
we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.
Thirty six to debate which method of changing light
bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what
brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are
faulty.
Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of
different light bulbs.
Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and
then post the corrected URL.
Three to post about links they found from the URLs
that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs
relevant to this group.
Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including
all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
Five to post to the group that they will no longer
post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.
Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short
time ago?"
Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs
before posting questions about light bulbs."
Three to tell a funny story about their cat and a
light bulb.
AND
One group lurker to respond to the original post 6
months from now with something unrelated they found at
snopes.com<about:blank> and start it all over again!

Re: Replacing headlight bulb on 2002 A4 1.8T Quattro
Bentley for B6 for the Dipped beam bulbs says to remove the head light for
the left side (remove screws on top and loosen screws in the back several
turns) and to remove the air duct for the right. Then remove the covers
(back side). I removed left cover once and there is barely enough room to
get it off after some swearing. Then it says to unplug the connector and
disengage the wire clip. Don't touch the bulb glass with your bare hands
when installing the new ones.
