Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authori zed 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 before you are able to get to the
bulb . Th is appl ies especially to the l ight bulbs
in the front of your car which you can only
reac h through the engine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause ser ious cuts, and parts
must be correctly taken apart and then prop
e rly put back together to help p revent break
age of parts and long term damage from wa
ter that can enter housings that have not been properly resealed.
F or your safety, we recommend that you have
your author ized Audi dealer replace any bu lbs
for you, since your dealer has the p roper tools,
the correct b ulbs and the expertise.
Ga s di sc harg e lamp s (Xeno n light s}*:
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the
bulbs replaced by a qualified technician.
Headlights with Xenon light can be identified
by the high voltage sticker.
A WARNING
Contact with high-voltage components of
t he 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.
Fu ses and bulb s 231
-Changing Xenon lamps requires the spe
cial tra ining, instructions and equip
ment.
- On ly an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualif ied 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 c uts.
- If you are uncertain about what to do,
have the work performed by an a uthor
ized Audi dealer or othe r qualified work
shop. Ser ious personal in ju ry may result
from imprope rly performed work.
(D Tips
- If you must replace the light bulbs your
self, a lways remember that the eng ine
c ompartment of any vehi cle is a hazard
ous area to work in. A lways read and
heed all WARN INGS
~page 174, Engine
compartment ¢&, .
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi
dealer whenever yo u need to change a
bulb .
