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 diffi
cult 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 eng ine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, and parts must be correctly taken apart 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 re
sealed.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your author ized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise .
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon lights):
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs
replaced by a qualified technic ian . Headlights
with Xenon light can be identified by the high
voltage sticker.
LED headlights*
LED 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 d ischarge (Xenon) headlight bulbs can
cause se rious personal injury and death.
- Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can ex
plode when be ing changed .
- Chang ing Xenon lamps requires the spec ial
training, instructions and equipment .
248
-Only an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualified workshop should change the bu lbs
in gas discharge lamps.
A WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the open
ings and on the bulb holders that can cause
serious cuts .
- If you are uncertain about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi
dealer or other qualified workshop . Ser ious
personal injury may result from improperly
performed work.
(D Tips
- If you still prefer to replace the light bulbs
yourself, be aware that the engine compart
ment is a hazardous area to work in
~page 198~.&.
- It
is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer
whenever you need to change a bulb.
