Is it me or have audi made something simple harder

[TDI]

Tried changing a rear bulb over the weekend, and couldn't free the cluster off the blooming car!!!
Is there any other bolts (apart from the one inside the boot)that might be holding the cluster in place or do i give it a hard tug?

Rant over!!

Cheers

no there is a little plastic tab which doesn't even look anything like a plastic tab! you need to push or pull this and it'll release.
prob give you a clear illustration in instruction manual?

Cheers mate, had a look in the manual that comes with the car and it says to take car to dealer. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

As ajmackie said above- its just a case of pressing the little tab thing and lifting the bulber holder straight out. Get a torch if you haver to and take a look and you will see and if it makes it easier pull off the wiring connector.

I swapped my tailights for 99.5`s few months ago and really isn`t hard.

The pics below should give you the idea
