Where is the headlight fuse of Audi A6L?

The headlight fuse is located near the instrument panel on the driver's side door. Below is some relevant information about the Audi A6L: 1. Introduction: The Audi A6L is the first Audi model introduced to the Chinese market, with its predecessor being the third-generation Audi 100 (code-named C3) introduced in 1988. The Audi A6L is a series developed by FAW-Volkswagen Audi based on the German new A6 and serves as the successor to the A6. In June 2012, the new-generation Audi A6L was launched, equipped with 35-TFSI power, and its exterior design somewhat resembles the new version of the A4L. 2. Design: The new Audi A6L adopts a five-link front suspension design, balancing the necessary rigid connection for sportiness and comfort with low static stiffness. Among them, the hydraulic form of the frame damping support significantly improves driving comfort and effectively reduces the impact and jolt when passing over speed bumps or uneven roads, thereby lessening the impact on the lumbar spine.
I've been driving an Audi A6L for seven years, and there are two most common places to check for headlight fuse locations. First is the left side of the dashboard near the driver's legs - just pry open that long plastic cover to reveal the fuse box. The other possible location is in the black box on the right side of the engine compartment, close to the windshield. Last time when my right headlight suddenly went out, I opened the cabin fuse box myself, found the low beam position using the diagram on the back of the cover, and replaced it with a 20-amp fuse using the small tweezers that came with the car. A reminder: don't use excessive force when removing covers as Audi clips break easily. It's best to do this during daytime with the car cooled down and power disconnected for safety, to avoid damaging control modules. These minor repairs don't require a dealership visit, but keeping an original fuse kit in your glove compartment is very practical.
The headlight fuse of the Audi A6L is mainly located in the fuse box on the left side of the cockpit, specifically under the steering column, requiring you to crouch down to see the cover panel. There might be slight variations depending on the model year—my friend's 2018 model has it in the front left corner of the engine compartment. If you're replacing it yourself, prepare a flat-head screwdriver and a fuse of the same specification: first, turn off the engine and power, pry open the cover panel marked with an arrow in front of the driver's knee, locate the headlight symbol on the inner diagram, and use a plastic clip to pull out the faulty fuse and replace it with a new one. Also, check if the relay is loose—if it's damaged, the lights won't work either. If you're unsure about the location, take a photo of the fuse box and ask in a maintenance group—it's much faster than checking the manual.
