How to replace tail light bulb for Audi A6 (C7)

Model years: 2011 - present
Tail lights or tail lamps are positioned at the back part of vehicle's body, which are intended to make vehicles in sight at the hours of darkness. Aforementioned lamps emit red ray of light similarly to stop lamps, apart from the latter induces much brighter light. Typically Tail lights will be engaged until the front lights are on. It's significant that the items being transported are not blocking tail lamps, as the car visibility may be reduced. Analogous outcome occurs in a case of a defective tail light, hence consider replacing bulb as soon as failure has been noticed.

The life-time of a bulb is limited. Sooner or later, it will burn out and will have to be replaced. Bulbs, made of high quality materials, tend to last longer. It's recommended to use well known brand replacement bulbs.

If bulb burns out right after installation, your vehicle might have a problem inside electrical system - have it checked by auto electrician.
