[V8] Headlight replacement

[Buchholz, Steven]

... if you have the belly pan in place that does make the bumper pull a
but more of a hassle ... but once its off, the bumper isn't *that* big a
deal to R&R.  I know when I first got the first car I really thought it
was a pain, but with practice I've found ways to easily access the six
bolts that attach the bumper.  The thing is that once the bumper is off
you still don't have clear access to all of the fasteners for the
headlight.  I don't have BTDT with a lot of different cars in this
respect, but it sure seemed like Audi spent some time designing the nose
of the V8 for easy R&R ...

All that said, the one secret I learned was to crank the adjusters until
they disengaged the headlamp unit ... you can do this with minimal
difficulty, but then the mounting bracket is still attached to the car.
It can be difficult to get the pivot back into place while re-engaging
the adjuster screws ... but it is probably still faster than
disassembling the nose of the car ...
