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 properly
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.
For 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.
Gas discharge lamps (Xenon ligh ts) :
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the bulbs
replaced by a qua lified techn ician . Head lights
with Xenon light can be identified by the high
voltage sticker.
LED headlights* requ ire no maintenance. Please
contact your authorized Aud i dealer if a bulb
needs to be replaced.
