Thank for that man.
I already got those.

I was thinking of something more easy language, and with some personal pics, of somebody who has maybe done this before...

It is very detailed and easy to follow, so simple! Otherwise if you find the video difficult then I would suggest you don't remove your headlights as I can't see how anyone would make the procedure any easier.

Bob, the video is very simple, yes. But what I am looking for is the video on the bumper removal. The video only shows the headlight removal, which is simple yes. But I'm gonna do the facelift headlight upgrade, and there are different brackets and all, that I need very careful intersections on.

Plus, it may be simple to you, by since I'm not familiar with the english language as much, I'd like to have a "removal for dummies", like the guy did on the bumper removal, which is awesome. I just wanted the same on the headlights.

Excuse me but...
Do not search video instructions on how to remove the front bumper, because it not exist.

Those who removed the front bumper did not record the video, exist images only

You have a photos here in the forum, and I sent it to you before the PDF instruction from Audi's electronic catalog - how to remove the front bumper and front headlights

Replacing the front headlights is not a common a job, as far as I know only one forum member did it personally
Exist only Audi instructions from electronic instructions there is nothing else

On two Q5 I removed the front bumper on the basis of instructions from an electronic catalog - everything is clearly explained

Good luck with your project

PS: Do not get me wrong, but Bob Petruska gave you the best advice

headlight removal only, no bumper removal mentioned.

I believe that you want to upgrade.....
