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 before you are able to get to the
bu lb . T his appl ies especia lly to the l ight bu lbs
in the front of your car which you can on ly
reach through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders 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 prevent 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 authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs
for you, since your dealer has the proper tools,
the correct bu lbs and the expertise.
Gas disc harg e lam ps (X enon lig ht s):
Due to the high electrical vo ltage, have the
bu lbs rep laced by a qualified technician.
H eadlights with Xenon light can be identified
by the high voltage sticker.
LED headlights* require no ma intenance .
P lease contact your authorized Aud i 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, instruct ions and equ ip­
ment. -
On ly an authorized A udi 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 st ill prefer to replace the light
bulbs yourself, be aware that the engine
compartment is a hazardous area to
work in
~ page 21 a ~ .11::..
- It is best to ask your authorized Audi
dea ler whenever you need to change a
bulb.
