I don't know if this is any help, but the glass is probably removeable,
in case you didn't know. Might help for access to the holder?.
I was quite surprised to find replacemant glass for my A3 headlight at
below 30 quid *at the stealership*.

Cheers mate,

Fixed mine over the weekend. £4 for a torx screwdriver, just removed the
headlight unit and tightened the 3 screws holding the dip beam bulb holder.

£180 for Audi to fix it!!! No wonder they can afford to pay someone to
Hoover your car and put mints in during the service!

Interesting to know about the glass though.

Regards.
