Fitment can vary a lot on the 2016 Audi A3, especially between halogen and LED headlight packages and between sedan and hatchback body styles. If your car has factory LED lighting, many exterior bulbs are listed as LED modules rather than simple replaceable bulbs, while halogen-equipped cars use different bulb types in several positions.
