    The left medial rear tail light has become non-functional. Nearest dealership is 120 miles away...anybody had experience changing the bulb? Accessing the bulb ? No fuses out and no "message" of lighting malfunction.
    Thanks!

    As dumb as it sounds, I believe the rear section of the car must be removed to simply change a bulb !

    got my 06 with the front driver side headlights working whenever it felt like... so I had to change the bulb... to get to the buld they had to remove the wheels and wheel well plastic... I think the rear light you must remove the bumper.... not sure.

    I don't have a G-car, but I had to do the same thing to change out my headlight bulbs. I've done it about 5+ times so now it's not as time consuming. ;)

    I'm almost 100% certain Audi is German. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I have made this change. You must remove the rear wheel and the plastic fender liner to access the bulb. Not that difficult, but silly, I agree.

    He was born and grew up in Peru, his father is Belgian and I don't know about his mother as she could be of Spanish ancestry or of other European background. I bet that he considers himself hispanic or of course a Latin American just like any first generation born and raised here is considered a North American.
