For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you.
It is becoming increas ingly more and more
d iff icu lt to replace vehicle light bulbs s ince in
many cases, other parts of the car must first
be
removed before you are able to get to the
bu lb. This applies especially to the light bulbs
in the front of your car which you can on ly
reach throug h the engine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders 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 parts and long term damage from wa
ter that can enter housings that have not been
properly resealed.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for you, since your dealer has the proper tools,
the correct bulbs and the expertise .
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights):
Due to the high electrical vo ltage, have the
bu lbs rep laced by a qualified technician.
Headlights with Xenon light can be identified
by the high voltage sticker.
LED headlights* require no maintenance.
Please contact your authorized Audi dealer if a
bu lb needs to be replaced.
A WARNING
Contact with high-voltage components of
the electrical system and improper re
placement of gas discharge (Xenon) head- light bulbs can cause serious personal in
jury and death.
- Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can ex
plode when being changed.
- Changing Xenon lamps requires the spe
cial training, instructions and equip
ment.
- Only an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualified workshop should change the
bulbs in gas discharge lamps.
A WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the
openings and on the bulb holders that can
cause serious cuts.
- If you are uncertain about what to do,
have the work performed by an author
ized Audi dealer or other qualified work
shop. Serious personal injury may result
from imprope rly performed work.
(D Tips
- If you must replace the light bulbs your
self, always remember that the eng ine
compartment of any vehicle is a hazard
ous area to work in. A lways read and
heed all WARNINGS ~
page 224, Engine
compartment~ &..
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi
dealer whenever yo u need to change a
bulb .
