Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you .
It is becoming increasingly more and more
difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in
many cases, other parts of the car must first
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 yo u can only
reach through the engine compartment.
Sheet metal and bu lb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause se rious cuts, and pa rts
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 re sea led.
