Replacement of Front Headlamp Bulb

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Headlight bulb

To access the rear of the headlamp and replace the bulb, first remove the air intake duct. Next, remove the rubber cover, disconnect the power connector, and unclip the bulb retaining spring. Insert the new bulb (H7 model) without touching the glass with your fingers, seat it in its housing, secure it with the springs, reconnect the power connector, and then refit the rubber cap and the air duct. If you notice a difference in brightness between the two headlamps after switching them on, it is advisable to replace the other bulb as well.
