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
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 .
T his applies especially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car which you can only reach
through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bu lb holders can have sharp
edges that can cause serious cuts, pa rts must be
correctly taken apart and then properly put back
together to help prevent breakage o f parts and
long term damage from water that can enter
housings that have not been properly resealed.
For your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Aud i dea ler rep lace any bulbs fo r
you, since your dealer has the proper tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise.
Gas di schar ge la mps (Xe no n ligh ts):
Due to the high electr ical voltage, have the bulbs
rep laced by a qualified technician. Headlights
with Xenon light are identified by the hig h volt­
age st icker.
LED headlights* require no maintenance . Please
contact your authorized Audi dea ler if a bulb
needs to be replaced.
_&. WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps wi thout the necessary
equipment can cause serious personal injury .
- Bulbs are pressu rized and can explode when
be ing changed. Potent ial ris k of injury!
- On veh icles equipped with gas disc harge
bu lbs (Xenon light) life-threatening injuries
can resu lt from improper handling of the
high-vo ltage portions of such lamps!
- Only your authorized A udi dealer or quali­
f ied workshop sho uld change the bulbs in
gas discharge lamps. There are parts with
sharp edges on the openings and on the
201

Fuses and bulbs
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 qualified workshop . Serious per­
sonal injury may result from improperly per·
formed work .
@ 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~.&.
in
Working in the engine compartment on
page 155 .
-It is best to ask your authorized Audi dealer
whenever you want to change a bulb.
