Replacement of Side Indicator Bulb

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

Replacing the side indicator bulb is very simple but requires removing the unit: push the unit forward and then pull it outwards; at this point, disconnect the bulb holder and remove the old bulb (12V 5W orange T10 fitting) before inserting the new one; before reattaching the bulb holder to the unit, check that the bulb is functioning correctly, and once confirmed, reposition the bulb holder ensuring it fits perfectly, then attach the side indicator back onto the wing.
