08 Passat Headlight Bulb Replacement

[@Jaffa1951]

This was the easiest headlight bulb I've replaces in years. Much easier than my previous 3 - 4 cars. Changing both bulbs took me just over 5 minutes.

[@letsrollmediaco]

just what I needed, thank you brotha

[@107087]

Well done. Nice camera work for a change too. Thanks.

[@sergejsbrasovanu5843]

Thank you so much for proper video guide! It was so eeezy to change it! :) great job!

[@Yesquire0]

It takes about 3 hours to "center the bulb and turn it a bit clockwise until it snaps into place", meaing you give up after about three hours.

[@LeviBulger]

It's needlessly difficult. I agree

[@xSavagekidx]

Me currently lol

[@coreyhippiez5465]

Bro this is the hardest lightbulb EVER to snap in

[@Ashhh9009]

Thank you so much ! Very detailed 👌

[@kevinzee9704]

Thanks! Are these HID bulbs? I have 2007 Passat Sport versions!

[@wrk1218]

Is the headlight bixenon?

[@TCSC47]

Just to check, you have pushed the bulb down on top of the spring in the socket rather than pop the spring ends over the flange?

[@kirkdyer833]

Yeah it’ll push down

[@jillking52]

Is the low beam headlight the same as the DRL? So when I turn the headlights on at night (2009 VW Passat wagon), the only change I see in the front of the car is the yellow lights on the outside??

[@josephkramer932]

Yes, I believe the low beam lightbulb is the same lightbulb used for the DRL (daytime running light).

Get hand in, turn whole plastic wired section pull out....separate bulb and replace, then do first step in reverse. Fitting back in can be a nightmare or you get on your first go. Good luck!

[@witar2972]

thank you very much 👍

[@micahjami]

Ok I changed all the bulbs and 10 minutes later the same malfunction light came on again!!!

[@djbarton1245]

are the bulbs still on?

[@TCSC47]

Lol. At 5:30 , the rest of us use old fashioned techniques and get out to actually look at the operating headlight to check it is working again. But that does entail a trip of 2 metres!

Nice Quick East

[@cmcginley28]

Great video good job

[@alinspetsanz]

And Left?!:)))))) ...please..this part is so f kin hard..

[@jeansandmyshirt]

the british or some europeans call it dipped beam. north Americans call it low beams.

[@djbarton1245]

That makes sense for a VW.

[@SullyReviews5000]

This is not an 08. I have an 08 and it’s nothing like this

[@TCSC47]

It is pretty much the same as my UK 07 Passat apart from the steering wheel being on the wrong side of course.

[@SullyReviews5000]

Sadly it was not. I have the v6 Passat and we had to take off the front grill and pull the bumper down to even get access to them. VW really made it a pain in the ass to do the bulbs on the v6 for some reason

[@TCSC47]

@@SullyReviews5000 Not good. Of all the things that we should be able to change at the side of the road, it is light bulbs, particularly filament bulbs which can go at any time. Having said that, m Passat is ok for changing bulbs.

[@kirkdyer833]

I have an 08 and it looks exactly the same
