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  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  bu lb. 
This applies  espec ially to  the  light  bulbs  in the 
front  of your  ca r wh ich you can  only reach 
through  the  eng ine compartment. 
2 6 4 
Sheet  meta l and  bu lb 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  authorized  Audi dealer  replace  any bulbs  for 
you, since your  dealer  has  the  proper  tools,  the  correct  bulbs  and  the  expertise. 
Ga s d ischar ge  lam ps (Xeno n light s)*: 
Due to  the  high  e lectrica l voltage,  have the  bulbs 
rep laced  by a qualified  technician.  Headlights 
with  Xenon light  can be identified  by the  h igh 
voltage  sticker. 
A WARNING 
-
Contact  with  high-voltage  components  of the 
electr ical system  and  improper  replacement 
of gas  discharge  (Xenon) headlight  bulbs  can 
cause  ser ious  persona l injury and  death . 
- Xenon bulbs are pressur ized  and can ex
plode  when  being  changed . 
- Changing  Xenon lamps  requires  the  special 
tra ining,  instruct ions  and  equ ipment . 
- Only an  authorized  Audi dealer  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  ho lders  that  can cause 
serious  cuts. 
- If you  are  uncertain  about  what  to  do,  have 
the  wor k performed  by an  authorized  Audi 
dea ler or other  qual ified workshop.  Ser ious 
personal  injury may resu lt  from  improperly 
performed  work . 
(D Tips 
-If you  must  replace  the  light  bulbs  you rself, 
always remember  that  the  eng ine compart
ment  of any vehicle  is a hazardous  area  to 
work  in. Always read  and  heed  all WARN
