You can get all the needed bolts loosened and removed easy enough - it is the shape of the headlamp itself which makes it so you have to remove the bumper cover. The lights themselves curve downwards at the bottom so when you tug at the lamp it catches on the plastic :ffs:.

Removing the front bumper looks like a nightmare though - check out AudiWorld Tech Articles :eek:

there ios no way the light comes out with the bumper in place, its too deep behind the bumper to come out ;)

to remove the front bumper its a bit of a chore but do able...

remove the under tray

then remove the arch liners

then you will see on the drivers side 2 bolts going up into the wing, one close to the arch the other closer to the bumper,

then there are 2 nuts to remove from the studs at the front that face you,

same on the other side, but the waher bottle has to be un bolted and pulled out of the way.

there is also bolts on the slam pannel and i think in where the fog lights are iirc (been a while since I did this...)

the majority are torques T20 iirc....but dont hold me to that..

then the bumper unclips and slide forward... then the lights can be slid out. +++
