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 especia lly 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, and parts
must be correctly taken apart and then prop -
e rly 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.
For 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.
Gas discharg e lam ps (Xenon lig ht s):
Due to the high electrical voltage, have the
bu lbs rep laced by a qualified technician.
Headlights with Xenon light can be identified
by the high voltage sticker.
LED headlights* require no ma intenance .
Please contact your authorized Aud i dealer if a
bu lb needs to be replaced.
A
WARNING

of
the electrical system and improper re-
placement of gas discharge (Xenon) head-
light bulbs can cause serious personal in-
jury and death .

plode when being changed.
- Changing Xenon lamps requires the spe-
cial training, instruct ions and equ ip-
ment.
- Only an authorized Audi dealer or other
qualified workshop should change the
bulbs in gas discharge lamps .
A
WARNING

openings and on the bulb holders that can
cause ser ious cuts.

have the work performed by an author-
ized Audi dealer or other qualified work-
shop. Serious personal injury may result
from imprope rly performed work.
