Hi there. Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a really confusing situation I have with my Audi A5 Cabriolet. I know moisture or condensation in headlight and tail light clusters is no new matter in cars. But with this being the tail strip LED bulb I was wondering if anyone has come across this and knows how to rectify the issue if possible? Like a permanent fix if possible? And also how to even remove this light assembly if possible to dry it out and fix? Seems minor and petty I know but with how the weather has been over this winter I'd rather try and keep it safe a bit longer off possible as this doesn't seem your average bulb jobby. Hope everyone is holding up well and staying safe during the COVID-19. A.S

Hi from a newby, just wanted to share a little trick to remove the rear lights of the C6 A6 which can be difficult to extract from the securing pins in the rear wings, Audi advise using a plastic tool to help the lamp free from the locator pins to avoid damage to the paintwork around the light edge, however this is not always successful as the pins tend to stick in the rubber retainers in the wing, so the trick is to use special tool STR-I-NG available from just about anywhere. See below. When the retaining nut has been removed the lamp can move outwards a small amount, this lets a piece of strong STRING be threaded behind the lamp starting at the boot aperture, simply thread the string around the lamp from top to bottom, tie a strong knot in the string at a point 6 inches past the lamp, insert a screwdriver or bar through the string loop and pull, the lamp will pop out without any damage to the paint or lamp, before refitting smear the rubber retainers and pins with silicon grease which will enable easy removal next time a bulb blows. For those who knew this method sorry for the repeat, for those who don't it works.
