Replacing light bulbs
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bulbs for
you.
It is becoming increasing ly more and more diff i­
cult to replace vehicle light bulbs s ince in many
cases, othe r parts of the car must fi rst be re­
moved before you are able to get to the bu lb .
This applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car which you can only reach
through the engine compartment.
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, parts must be
correct ly taken apart and then properly put back
together to he lp prevent breakage of parts and
380
long term damage from water that can enter
housings that have not been properly resealed.
Fo r you r safety, we recommend that you have
you r autho rized Audi dea ler replace any bulbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper tools, the
correct bu lbs and the expertise.
Ga s di sc harg e la mp s (Xe non ligh ts):
Due to the h igh electr ical voltage, have the bulbs
rep laced by a qualified technician . Headlights
with Xenon light a re identified by the high volt­
age sticker.
L ED headlight s*
LED headlights require no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Audi dealer if a bulb
needs to be replaced.
A WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps without the necessary
equipment can cause serious personal injury.
-Bulbs are pressurized and can explode when
be ing changed. Potent ial r isk of injury!
- On veh icles equipped with gas discharge
bulbs (Xenon light) life-threatening injuries
can result from improper handling of the
high-vo ltage portions of such lamps!
-Only your authorized Audi dealer or quali­
fied workshop shou ld change the bulbs in
gas discharge lamps . There are parts with
sharp edges on the openings and on the bulb holders that can cause serious cuts. If
you are uncerta in about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi
dea ler or qualified workshop. Serious per­
sonal injury may result from improperly per­
formed 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
i n c:> & in
Working in the engine compartment on
page 330 .
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer
whenever you want to change a bulb .
