What are the Headlight Fuses in the Volkswagen Passat?

Model: Volkswagen Passat B3, B4 - Years 1988-1996
Part: Headlight

If the front headlights of your Volkswagen Passat suddenly stop working and the bulbs are intact, it is likely that one of the various fuses has blown, the location of which is indicated in this video. As we can see, they are located in the fuse box inside the cabin, in the lower left area of the dashboard, and are labelled F1, F2, F11, and F12. If faulty, ensure you replace them with spares of the same specifications and always operate with the vehicle switched off to avoid damaging any connected devices.
