Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace burned out bulbs for you.
It i s becom ing increasingly more and more diffi­
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many
cases, other parts of the car must first be re­
moved before you are ab le to get to the bulb.
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car which you can only reach
through the engine compartment .

<( co .... N ,.__
N .... 0 ,.__
> co
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, and parts must be correctly taken apart and then proper ly
put back together to help prevent breakage of
parts and long term damage from water that can
enter housings that have not been properly re ­
sealed.
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 expert ise.
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights):
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs
replaced by a qualified technician . Headlights
with Xenon light can be identif ied by the high
voltage sticker.
LE D headlights* require no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Audi dealer if a bulb
needs to be replaced.
A WARNING
Contact w ith high-voltage components of the
electrical system and improper replacement
of gas discharge (Xenon) headlight bulbs can
cause serious personal injury and death.
- Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can ex­
plode when be ing changed.
- Changing Xenon lamps requires the special
training, instructions and equipment .
- Only an authori zed Audi dea ler or other
qualified workshop should change the bulbs
in gas discharge lamps .
A WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the open ­
ings and on the bulb holders that can cause
ser ious cuts.
- If you are uncerta in about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi
dealer or other qualified workshop . Serious
personal injury may resul t from improperly
performed work .
(D Tips
-If you still prefer to rep lace the light bu lbs
you rself , be aware that the engine compart-
Fuses and bulbs
ment is a hazardous area to work in
¢ page 188¢ &.
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer
whenever you need to change a bulb.
