Bulbs
Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more diffi­
cu lt to replace vehicle light bulbs since in many
cases, other parts of the car must first be re­
moved before you are able 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.
Sheet meta l and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, parts must be
correctly taken apa rt and then properly put back
together to help prevent breakage of parts and

long term damage from water that can enter
housings that have not been properly resea led.
F or your safety, we recommend that you have
your author ized Audi dealer replace any b ulbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise.
Ga s di sc har ge l amp s (Xe non light s)

replaced by a qua lified technician . Headlights
with Xenon light are identified by the high-volt­
age sticker.
LE D hea dlight s*
LED headlights require no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Audi dealer if a bulb needs to be replaced .
A WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps w ithout the necessa ry
equipment can cause ser ious personal injury .
- Bulbs are pressur ized and can explode when
being changed . Potential risk of injury!
- On vehicles
equipped with gas discharge
bulbs (Xenon l ight) life-threatening injuries
can result from improper handling of the
high-voltage po rtions of such lamps!
- Only you r authorized Aud i dea ler or quali­
fied workshop should change the bulbs in
gas dis charge lamps. There are parts with
sharp edges on the openings and on the
bulb ho lders that can cause serious cuts . If
you are uncertain about what to do, have
the work perfo rmed by an authorized Audi
dealer or qualif ied workshop. Serious per­
sonal injury may resu lt from improperly per­
formed work.

ment is a hazardous area to work
