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 bulb .
This applies espec ially to the light bulbs in the
front of your car wh ich you can only reach
through the engine compartment .
Sheet metal and bulb ho lders can have sharp
edges that can cause ser ious cuts, and parts
must be co rrectly 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 properly re ­
sea led.
F or your safety, we recommend that you have
your authorized Audi dealer replace any bu lbs for
you, since your dealer has the proper tools, the correct bulbs and the expertise.
Ga s di sc ha rge la mp s (Xe non ligh ts):
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs
replaced by a qua lified techn ic ian . Head lights
with Xenon light can be identified by the high
voltage sticker.
LED headlights* requ ire no maintenance. P lease
contact your authorized Aud i dealer if a bulb
needs to be replaced.
A WARNING
Contact w it h high -vo ltage components of the
electrical system and improper rep lacement
of gas disc harge (Xenon) head light bu lbs can
cause serious personal injury and death.
- Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can ex ­
plode when being changed.
- Changing Xenon lamps requires the special
training, instructions and equipment.
- Only an a uthorized Audi dea ler or other
qualified workshop s hou ld change the bulbs
in gas disc harge lamps .
326
A WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the open­
ings and on the bulb holders that can cause
serious cuts .
- If you are uncertain about what to do, have
the work performed by an author ized Audi
dealer or other qual ified workshop . Ser ious
pe rsonal inju ry may resu lt from improperly
pe rformed wor k.
(D Tips
- If you must replace the light bulbs yourself,
always remember that the eng ine compart­
ment of any vehicle is a hazardo us a rea to
work in. Always read and heed all WARN­ INGS
~ page 272.
-It is best to ask you r author ized Audi dea le r
w henever you need to change a bulb.
