A. open the hood, on the back of the headlight assembly, there is a plastic cover, retained by a plastic clip, carefully remove this cover, then unplug the back of the light, remove the retention ring by turning it about 30 degrees, remove the bulb. install is reverse, but be careful not to touch the glass of the bulb with your fingers, as it will burn it out a lot sooner.

2003 Volkswagen Passat Headlight issue?
Q. I have been told that to replace the low beam bulb, it is $140.00. Does anyone know? He said it is because they are HID lites. But seems a little ridiculous to me that a basic part like a headlight bulb could cost so much.

A. The HID headlights are very expensive; I hate to tell you this, but that's about right. The HID headlights was an expensive option, mainly on the all wheel drive Passat or on the now departed Phaeton. Now, if you're still under the warranty, 4 years, 50,000 miles; the headlight bulbs and dash lighting is still covered under the warranty (all other bulbs are considered to be wear and tear items and have coverage for only 12 months or 12,000). The HID bulbs are special; I don't recommend that you replace them with regular headlight bulbs. The headlights assemblies have special lenses designed to work with the HID lenses and if you put regular bulbs in it, you'll notice a huge difference in what you can see. Most dealerships will… [cont.]

How do I change the driver side headlight on a 2003 Passat?
Q. There is an "air box" in the way.. I called the VW dealership, and they told me I have to bring it in. They want $210 to install each headlight. Can anyone give me some instructions on how to replace the headlight? The bulbs went out on both sides of my Passat. It sucks!

A. both headlamps out at the same time is common. on the back of the lamp there is a rubber cap that just slips on. remove the cap and rotate the bulbs counter clockwise to remove. leave the wiring connecter on the bulb to hold the retainer on to make removal and installation easier. also inspect the yellow and brown wires to the bulbs for signs of excessive heat. somtimes the wires will melt and cause a poor connection.

Both brake lights on VW PASSAT (2003) will not go on with headlights at night? Help?
Q. I dont think this is a burnt out bulb issue because they BOTH are not going on at nights, when I have the headlights on. They work in the day, when I press the brakes. I thought it was a fuse, but I pushed all of them back in securely and it didnt work. Stupid Pep Boys want 50 bucks just to LOOK at it? Help? Any ideas!!!???

A. Check for a bad/weak/disconnected ground wire to the rear brake/tail light assembly. Try turning headlights during daylight and see if problem is present. You may also have a dirty brake light fuse (this is rare), clean it. There may be a bad tail?brake light sensor module too. But that gets more complicated. Try applying an extra ground wire to tail light assembly if brakes work ok you have found the problem. good luck
