Bulbs
Replacing 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
difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs since in
many cases, other parts of the car must first
be removed before you are able to get to the
bu lb . T his appl ies especially to the light bu lbs
in the front of your car which you can on ly
reach through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders can have sharp
edges that can cause ser ious cuts, parts must
be correctly taken apart and then p roperly put
back together to help prevent breakage of
parts and long term damage from water that
can enter housings that have not been proper­
l y resealed.
F or 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 bu lbs and the expertise.
G as disch arge la mp s (Xe no n li ght s)*:
Due to the high electrical vo ltage, have the
bu lbs rep laced by a qualified technician.
H eadlights with Xenon l ight a re identified by
the high voltage sticker.
& WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps without the neces ­
sary equipment can cause serious personal
injury.
- Bul bs are pressurized and can exp lode
when being changed . Potential risk of in­
jury!
- On vehicles equipped with gas discharge
bulbs (Xenon light) * life-threatening in­
jur ies can result from improper handling
of the high-voltage portions of such
lamps!
- Only your authorized Aud i dea ler or a
qualified workshop should change the
bulbs in gas discharge lamps. There a re
Fu ses and bulb s 28 3

what to do, have the work performed by
an author ized Audi dealer or other quali­
fied workshop . Ser ious personal injury
may result from improperly perfo rmed
wo rk.
(j) Tips
