Are the front headlight bulbs on your Passat blown? Let’s see how to replace them. Start by removing the plastic cover at the bottom of the bumper using a suitable screwdriver to access the side fog light located in the bumper.

After removing the bulb holder, take out the damaged bulb and fit a new one (same size and voltage). Refit the plastic cover under the car's bumper with the associated clips.

Test the correct operation of the lights. Replace the other headlight bulbs by accessing them from the front bonnet.
