Replacing light bulbs
Introduction to the subject
In this chapter you will find information on the following subjects:
⇒Tips and troubleshooting
Changing a light bulb requires a certain amount of skill. Therefore, Volkswagen recommends having
the light bulb changed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility. Special training and knowledge are generally required when other vehicle parts must be dis‐
assembled to replace a bulb.
You should always keep a box in the vehicle with all the replacement bulbs required for traffic safety.
Replacement bulbs are available from your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility. The laws of some countries explicitly require you to have replacement bulbs in the
vehicle.
Driving with outside lights that do not work may be against the law.
Additional light bulb specifications
Some factory-installed light bulbs in the headlights or the rear lights may have different specifications
than conventional light bulbs. Specifications are on the glass bulb or on the metal base.
LED vehicle lights
Owners cannot replace LED lights themselves. If some LEDs fail, this may be an indication that more
elements are on the point of failure. If this happens, have the lights checked and replaced if neces‐
sary at a qualified workshop.
