Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safe ty, we recommend that you hove
your authorized Audi dealer replace burned
out bulbs for you.
It i s becom ing increasing ly more and mo re
diffic ult to replace vehicle ligh t bu lbs since in
many cases, other parts of the car must fir st
be removed befo re you are able to get to the
bulb. This applies especially to the light bulbs
in the front of your car which you can only
r each th rough the engine compartment .
Sheet meta l and bu lb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, and parts
must be correctly taken apart and then prop­
erly put back together to help prevent break ­
age of pa rts and long term damage from wa­
te r that can enter housings that have not been
properly re sea led. ..,.
