I have a 2002 model Audi A4 Avant with Xenon headlights. The offside front parking light has blown. This wouldn't be a problem except this has triggered a permanent warning on my driver information system where the radio display normally lives. This is very annoying.
I popped up the bonnet and it looks like access to the lights are very restricted. There seem to be 2 bulb housings, one for the Xenon's and one for the parking and main beam bulbs. I understand that the Xenons use extremely high voltages and are potentially dangerous. However, the parking light housing appears to be separate. I can get a hand to it and think I could change get it out. Except there appears to be a clip holding the bulb housing in place. Does anybody know the procedure for changing this bulb?

It's possibly similar to my Passat with xenons. There is an over centre clip that retains a large hard plastic cover over the parking and main beam housing. You may have to remove various bits of air cleaner trunking etc. to get at it. If so the spring clip can be sprung sideways and the plastic cover can be pulled off. The parking light bulb holder should then be accessible. If you can get at the parking light bulb holder it pulls straight out but is very tight.
