- In this quick video I demonstrate how to replace the lower light unit on an Audi Q5. This is the same process on the left and right hand side. 2009 - 2016
This is a really easy job which can be completed in 5 minutes. The only tools you need are a Philips or cross head screwdriver and small flat blade screwdriver.

![[Backup light replacement] 2018 2019 2020 Audi Q5 US save more than $150](/img/n.gif)
Thank you for posting this video. The dealership want nearly $400 to replace this light assembly. After watching the video I did it myself in less than 5 minutes. The new part was only $82.
Where did you order the replacement from if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks very much for posting this. A careless driver broke mine today. I can save them the cost of labor.
Thank you for making this video. I just bought a 2015 Q5 and the dash says that both rear lights are out. So this will help me greatly. Thanks again!
For 2018+ It's a T20 torx. You will need a long handle to reach it.
Awesome vid, just used it to replace my own. Much appreciated! 350 kept in my pocket.
Awesome, this helped me with my 2021 Q7... thank you
Brilliant work! Great video, thanks so much for sharing. It took the drama out of replacing our fog light assembly.
Good video with a decent pace.
Super well done ..very easy to do ..thank you
Thanks so much for this informative video. Well done.
Thank you. Very helpful. I should have watched this first. Cheers!
Hi. Thx. Very useful. A couple of questions please. Is this the RIGHT side ? Where do you get the OEM number for the part ? How much is an original Audi part ? What lights are in the module (for testing) ?
Hi, thanks for the comment, this is the right hand side, the part number will be on a sticker on the lamp, the part number is 8R0945096 you can buy them online or direct from an Audi dealership, it’s about £50-£60. These have the fog lamp and additional side light, brake light, reverse and indicator. These lights only work when the boot is open. So open the boot to test them. The fog should work without the boot open.
My 2019 SQ5 is a torques bit not a Phillips screw.
Thank you for this video. Which type of Phillips screwdriver do you use?
It’s a size 2, quite a common size. All the best.
There is no screw for mine. Just a solid metal bumper 🤦♂️
Do you know how should i do in 2019?
How vulnerable is the screw from stripping or becoming loose after multiple bulb changes?
Can't find the phillips screw on my 2018; suspect they've changed the design.
Me too! Is there a screw there?
Hello Mike,
Yes there is a screw there but it's not Phillips - it's a Torx T25. Lie on your back and you can just see the red plastic that surrounds the screw and you can then guide the screwdriver accordingly. Set of four long Torx screwdrivers from Amazon for under £10 are perfect for the job.
I on accidentally bought the European one and it will be here tomorrow. Do you think it will still be fine?
It should still fit, it might have some of the lights in a different position. You will need to check if the fog light works. These lower lights are the backup light and only come if one of the other bulbs stop working or you have the boot open. So open the boot when checking to see if it works ok 👍🏼
Hi guys, any ideas how to do this on the 2019 model??
Looks like the same, at least for the 2018.
When you figure it out let me know! I thought this would be easy on my 2018 but I can’t find the screw.
Merci fortement utile
Good video, would this be the same procedure on a 2017 Q3?
So how do you even make those brake lights work? I've never actually seen them illuminate while following a Q5. Do they start working when the hatch is open?
I seen one illuminate while driving. One thing i noticed in my 2022 was then opening the trunk with my remote, sometimes it just disengages but it’s still closes, then the bottom turns on
Great video, any recommendations on where to buy this unit?
ebay should have a load of them for sale :)
are they OEM parts on ebay ?
How did u unplug the light.. I kept pulling on the tab but it won't release.. Help
Don't pull the tab. There is a little bump on the female end of the plug. I just took a small flat head/straight blade screwdriver and gently pryed around that bump and pulled. You may also want to spray some PB or WD40 in there since dirt/debris tends to cake up in there.
good to know ! :-)
