Ā¤ Introduction

Changing a light bulb requires a certain amount of skill. Therefore, Volkswagen recommends having
the light bulb changed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility. Special training and knowledge are generally required when other vehicle parts must be
disassembled to replace a bulb, or when HID ā High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights must be
replaced.
You should always keep a box in the vehicle with all the replacement bulbs required for traffic safety.
Replacement bulbs are available from your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility. The laws of some countries explicitly require you to have replacement bulbs in the
vehicle.
Driving with outside lights that do not work may be against the law.
To obtain the Volkswagen service information necessary to change light bulbs yourself, see
ā Volkswagen service information.
Additional light bulb specifications
Some factory-installed light bulbs in the headlights or the rear lights may have different specifications
than conventional light bulbs. Specifications are on the glass bulb or on the metal base.
WARNING
Crashes and other accidents can happen when you cannot see the road ahead and when you
cannot be seen by other motorists.
