Audi A6 2001 Fog Lights, rear and front, replacing?

OK First of all I have a question I wanted to change the light bulb for the front fog lights on the bumper for my Audi A6, BUT what kind of bulb is it it looks huge when i took it off? Also The rear fog lights are under a carbon fiber plate near the license plate how do I remove it theirs no screws or any thing at all?Audi A6 2001 Fog Lights, rear and front, replacing?OK, this is tricky. You cannot get to the rear fog light (singular) from the outside. You must open the rear deck lid and remove the soft liner. The 2001 A6 is pecular in that in the US only the left lens is activated and in EU the right is activated. In model years 2002 and later they smartened up and both lenses are activated.

To remove the liner panel there are two sets of two screw pins. The first are obvious to find. The second set is behind the road hazard triangle. Take out this accessory to expose the second set of fasteners. After removing these the panel should snap out exposing the wiring harness and lamp assembly. Twist to remove from the housing and you now have access to replacing the lamp.Audi A6 2001 Fog Lights, rear and front, replacing?bring the big bulb to the parts store to match
