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
