How to fix the "Adaptive front lighting system (AFS) failure" error message on a 2013+ VW CC

[@arthurfleck8905]

Worked for me, spent $35 on the bulbs. Thanks for uploading!

[@asdfasd527]

thank you so much for taking the time to share this bro!

[@sylent6]

Mine just went out yesterday and the error message appear so I will look into replacing the bulbs tomorrow and definitely let you know how it goes. Hey Chris I'll appreciate this video sir, thank you.

[@WNBA51]

did it correct the problem afterall?

[@emcf13]

Thanks, Saved me about $140 in labor and maybe $50 on the H7 Bulbs at the Dealer

[@jflowers3116]

Thanks so much for this video; I have been riding around for months w/ that warning & never thought about those bulbs....

[@Mexpo89]

Same boat as you, just realized that light as I changed the headlights.

[@shaunanubivn198]

When u can relate

[@lishayi1134]

Thank you so much for the upload. It helped me to fix my AFS error message. I got a pair for 40$. And did by myself for my 2010 CC. Thx!

[@EmptyMind307]

Thanks for this. Helped me find the issue. It's amazing how misleading the warning message is

[@gemnilocs]

thanks for this video, i recently got the error message, went to google and found this video! awesome

thanks for the video Chris! !

Hello ..I am happy see yr vid...thanks so much for this lesson practically...from Malaysia... TERIMA KASIH...mean thanks you...

[@rickgrosse8211]

I had this happen to my 2014 CC VR6 4Motion. Unfortunately in my case the problem was NOT the side light bulbs. I took the car to two independent shops and they could not pinpoint the problem. I finally took the car to a VW dealer because I got tired of the error light. The problem was the rear "leveling sensor". A few $100's later and it is all fixed.

[@d4rkv]

Thanks and awesome, finally someone with a working resolution.

[@yoshi10152010]

You are right on the money this is what was wrong with my 2014 Audi s4.... Thank you so much

[@FabioMadala]

I have a 2012 CC and it has the same problem, but it appears only in the first start of the day. If I turn off the car and start again it disappear.. I am trying to figure out what´s happening... maybe I have to replace the lamp bulb to solve it.

[@kimberlykunkle5207]

Thank you! I'll do it tomorrow!

[@daveys35]

Where can I send your tip? Just picked up a FABULOUS and clean 2013 R-Line in San Diego last Wednesday with the 3 passenger rear seat configuration and am using it for part-time UBER. It is a DREAM, so comfy, stable, powerful, but wow, so many electronic gadgets that can go on the blink. This one had me stumped. Easy-peasy fix. Many thanks!

[@daveys35]

Oh, you know what is missing? My valet key to lock the trunk and to access to locking compartment separator between rear seat and trunk, behind the fold down arm rest.

I’m on a vacation in Germany once I arrived got this failure on dashboard. Lights are working fine but don’t move with steering movement. Took it to workshop n they said it’s wiring problem n takes time cuz they must take off the bumper. The fail code is c108413

Yoo Chris I have a problem With my 2010 vw cc 2.0t idk if you can help but when I press the gas my whole dashboard with turn off completely what you thing the problem can be?

[@hahom7643]

Is it going to work again if I just change bulbs? N in this case I guess they don’t know how to fix it at workshop that’s y they said it’s the wiring?? Please help

[@vladoche3898]

Thanks, man. This was helpfull

[@mplscarsales6652]

Would this be just for headlight bulb or could it be a running light/Blinker light as well ? Both my headlights work

[@pharlinx]

Headlight bulb is different than this bulb

[@angi-steauaangi-steaua3248]

Hi my husband has the same problem but the warning message is still on . Does this work for vw passat 2007??

[@viciousmarine1666]

What if you have one for rear light?

[@earlbuys8497]

Thanks for the video. Even after replacing bulbs on both sides, Lights will still not come on. No error on AFS. Any suggestions, please?

[@jermainkoh]

It's possibly the ballast/control unit (part number 8K0941597E).

[@wakawakamy110]

Put on auto and restart

[@kbayoable]

Mine stop swiveling and now facing too low do you have an idea how to get them fix?

[@MacBoyPro]

YES! Thank you so much

[@icxcnika555]

I have this on my 13 CC but when i turn my light's on at night, i don't see any bulb's out ? How do i know which ones to replace ? Thanks

[@jasonnguyen680]

When you turn on your turn signals a cornering light should light up whichever side the turn signal is activated. So look for the side that doesn’t light up.

[@Endoftimes777]

I have that light but all my lights work? Could it be the backup lights?

[@MartinAston00]

This is just bulb replacement... not actually dealing with an AFS error

[@Frostyyy__]

Any fix?

[@MartinAston00]

@@Frostyyy__ Yup, fixed, but my code was thrown by different issue. Yes, if a bulbs out, especially the bulb that lights up as you turn/signal it will give an AFS alert, but as said, that’s just a bulb change/fix. Which is not ALWAYS the reason as the poster kinda insinuates.

[@oSirSniffleso]

@@MartinAston00So what was your issue? I tried replacing the bulbs even though both were working and I’m still getting the AFS error. All headlights work and the self check works. But getting the error anyway.

[@faautobahna9416]

@@oSirSniffleso Same AFS error I am facing since 3 days ago on my 2012 CC 2.Ot Exec. When car starts, the auto swivel as it used to happen however is happening the same way. What did you do ?

[@marcelhnr4263]

I get the same message, but mine it not the bulb, I've scan the car and its saying the swivel module is faulty. The thing is I don't know where the swivel module is situated. Can you offer any advice.

[@mplscarsales6652]

It’s inthe headlight assembly

Those are the regular, just changed 1 of my 2014 Volkswagen GLI and it was $150 (Xenon)

[@ricardodelatorre1454]

Hi Chris, do you recommend any of the available light bulbs available in Amazon? Thanks, Ricardo

[@chrismiller9776]

Changed the bulb and error indicator never extinguished.

[@dduarte29]

I have a swivel module error, the lights work normally, when i put the key i see the "xenon exercise" but he gives me that error in the dash, i think the swivel is a part of the hole headlight.

Dude did you get this fixed? I have this issue as well.

[@dduarte29]

@@bc00li83 nope, i still have the problem, everybody told me that i need a new headlight.

Just bought and installed some led corning bulbs from Amazon, still have the error mssg, do need to reset ?

[@skyd34th]

You need to install an additional resistor, otherwise the computer sees the LED as burned bulbs

[@salmanm4809]

@lukas how to add additional resistor?

[@pedroescalante2544]

Couldn anyone tell me what type of light bulbs I need please ?

[@daninicole3481]

What about when the reverse lights don’t work? I’ve changed them and they went out again.

[@isaacmartinez7975]

It should be the same for a 2011 I replace it but the light is still on any body know why?

[@kbayoable]

My 2010 vw would showed the afs message a while ago then it went away but the swivel lights stopped working any ideas?

[@robertwilson6928]

This will only work if your VW uses bulbs for Corning lighting. Mine does not use a single bulb but instead turns the projector itself.

[@mathiasjensen2520]

Same here

[@kbayoable]

How about the 2010 headlights it's a different one and dont work anymore I did changed the bulbs but no luck

[@mohsrotv4015]

I did the same but after replacing it didnt work. did you find the solution?

[@chrismiller9776]

Daniel Luttner yes, the middle bulb that faces the corner is the cornering bulb.

[@SeanKayGee]

Ohhhhhhhhh!!!! Ok my right side is out.

[@agentelopez82]

I changed them, already and still dont work!. I am about to change one of the speed sensor, i dont know if that can cause that fault too.

I changed mines as well and the light didn't go off

[@icxcnika555]

You might have to manually reset the light, check the owners manual.

[@Dondreni]

Hi! Can i use the same lights that you bought on a 2014 golf gtd? IF so can you send me a link or just write down the name of the lights!

[@justanotherviewerfan4229]

Ok so what if it isn’t a bulb

[@TheYeik01]

What about when there's no error message? AFS is active but doesn't work?

[@barrybuck]

Check your settings. It may be turned off

[@youEkkarat]

I have the same problem, but my Tiguan is 2008. Both of the cornering bulb works but I'm still getting the AFS fault message. any solution?

[@stephendavis7707]

i have the same problem both bulbs are good but no self levelling or turning when steering ..

[@youEkkarat]

stephen davis I went back to the dealer, he disable my right headlamp (fault message code said right headlamp) and he disconnect all the wire just to check if there was loose connection to the wire or wet contact. He also told my that I had to replace the hole headlamp. But after he did that the fault message is gone. I also changed those cornering bulbs just to try even if their works. And some how it works..worth trying if you had the same problem.

[@rmt5820]

Hello Sir! The bulb was for high or low beam?

[@PurpleSideBlack]

Körkort på Persiska Vardagligt Språk these are left and right cornering lights, not the main headlamps.

[@SniffWall]

I got message even when my bulbs were working, so I have changed them and falure message still present =(

[@SeanKayGee]

Yea but I have that error and both headlights work

[@chrismiller9776]

SKG1985 it’s the cornering bulb causing that error, not the headlight bulb.

[@indian4387]

skoda superb same problem please give sollution

[@jonnathancisneros2336]

This is a bulb replacement not even dealing with AFS malfunction. AFS - Swivel module on headlight problem

[@chrismiller9776]

You are correct that it’s just a simple bulb replacement. However the error message that appears on the driver display is “AFS failure” so that’s why I included that in the title.

[@staniley884]

Its nothing about afs problem

[@chrismiller9776]

The error message that appears in the driver display is “AFS Failure” so that’s why I added the wording into the title of this video. I agree that this is a simple bulb replacement.
