Replace Front Headlight Bulbs on VW Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Headlight bulb

Are the front headlight bulbs damaged? Here’s how to replace them on a Volkswagen Passat. Open the front bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard, and secure it with the prop rod. Remove the inspection cover from the back of the headlight. You will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver. Fit the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. After fitting the headlight cover, you can test the lights. Turn on the lights using the appropriate knob.
