The description for removing the headlight refers to the right headlight; the procedure for the left headlight is similar.
Switch off the ignition and the lights.
Open the bonnet.
Take the screwdriver and the Torx bit out of the Audi A8 tool kit Link.
Insert the Torx bit in the screwdriver handle.
Take off the trim panel. Detach it at the front first -arrows- Fig. 1 by pulling the front of the trim panel upwards. You can now detach the trim panel towards the front.
To detach the headlight, remove screw -A- Fig. 2 completely. Slacken screws -B- and -C- about five turns anti-clockwise.
Carefully pull the headlight slightly forwards.
The electrical connector leading to the Audi A8 is located on the back of the headlight. Press the catch on the electrical connector towards the rear and unplug the connector.

Carefully pull out the headlight towards the front.
