The light doesn't work in my 05 sportback glovebox. Can anyone tell me how to get the cover off so I can change the bulb and also is there a white led version of this bulb I can pick up somewhere? Thanks
Lamp just prises out with a small screwdriver - and see T8ups for LED....
push a small flathead screwdriver into the left side of the light housing from inside the glovebox and prise out the light. then just change over the bulbs... again contact trups for any LED bulbs
Have you tried your local Audi dealer for a price on this part.
Audi A4 glove box damper and pin for glove box lid | eBay
It says in the description that it fits a3 2004/2009
Seller looks like a Audi dealer
Ok I've checked the side of the glovebox and that arm thing is snapped as someone suggested. Is it really £19 to replace it? And does anyone have a part number and I will check?

You cant replace the arm as such as its part of the lid & audi have stopped supplying the lid seperately, so its £200 for new GB or repair it as mentioned already, as I've done numerous times with superglue 2 parts together to gain position & use a resin or epoxy to stead fast, also stick some grease inside the brake element so it doesnt happen again.
I have a few glovebox's for sale if anyone wants one.
Audi dont sell new ones, so assume its on ebay & no, the brake element is not part of lid, you can buy the brake element still if thats whats broken, but its usually the arm that goes, just repair it.
Yes the arm is part of the lid, but tbh you will have the same issue with new lid if you dont lube the brake element, how much is the lid?
Just put this on your thread, but I see it has migrated over here.....
I have a full glovebox with broken hinges, what bits do you need?
I have the shock absorbor thing too, but it has snapped at the point it connects to the lid.
Any use to you?
Are you sure the arm on yours hasn't just retreated back into the housing, can you pull it out?
I got a new lid from Lincoln Audi and it didn't come with the brake assembly that you need, that only comes if you order the full glovebox.
My glovebox lid part number
8P2 857 124 A EC3
Light platinum/grey.
I wouldn't need the brake assembly, i just need the arm that connects to the brake assembly, it should be part of the lid.
Did you get this on your new lid?
I haven't replaced my lid - I just looked this up for you.
It sounds like you will need to buy the whole lid or do the repair that is described.
