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
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. This 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 lde rs can have sharp
edges that can cause ser ious cuts, and parts
must be correctly taken apart and then prop­
erly put back together to help prevent break­
age of parts and long term damage from wa­
ter that can enter housings that have not been
properly 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 disc harge la mp s (X enon li ght s)*:
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the
bu lbs rep laced by a qualified technician.
H eadlights with Xenon l ight can be ident ified
by the high voltage sticker .
A WARNING
Contact with hig h-voltage components of
the electrica l system and improper re­
placement of gas discharge (Xenon) head­
light bulbs can cause serious personal in­
jury and death .
- Xenon bulbs are pressurized and can ex­ plode when be ing changed.
- Chang ing Xenon lamps requires the spe­
c ial train ing, instructions and equip­
ment.
- Only an authorized Aud i dea ler or other
qualified workshop should change the
bulbs in gas discharge lamps .
Fuses and bulb s 215
A WARNING
There are parts with sharp edges on the
openings and on the bulb holders that can
cause ser ious cuts.
- If you are uncertain about what to do,
have the work performed by an author­
ized Audi dealer or other qualified work­
shop. Ser ious personal i nju ry may result
from imprope rly perfo rmed wo rk.
(D Tips
- If you must replace the light bulbs your­
self, always remember that the eng ine
compartment of any vehicle is a hazard­
ous area to work in. A lways read and
heed a ll WARN INGS
°* page 164, Work­
ing in the engine comportment"*&. .
- It is best to ask your authorized Audi
dealer whenever yo u need to change a
bulb .
