Passat B7 European DRL Bulb change

[@lesrogers7310]

For all those asking, these are a 'P21W' or '382' bulb. I replaced mine with some LEDs from Halfords (UK) and although these do not cause CAN bus errors it seems they are no longer available. This is a shame as they were expensive at £20 a pair but had a 3 year warranty. It is my understanding that these were made by Ring. Hope this helps in some way...

[@biteMeagain78]

Yes.. putting back the fog light grill is one hell of a task. Useful vid. Thank you

[@westcoast9651]

Thank you for this video, I will finally be able to change my light bulb without breaking everything 😀👍🙏

[@DJglass2]

Useful thanks. On my Alltrack I found it easier to loosen the trim off from the outer side, then pull it directly forward. Note for others, the screw heads are torx with a slot. Use either a flat blade screwdriver or a couple of different torx drivers, preferably magnetic.

[@mathieunoortvan7442]

Thanks for this video. Changed it in less then 10 min without breaking anything.

[@iankelton7376]

Just to mention,you can do the whole job with just patience,care, and 10mm wide straight blade screwdriver...VW were clever enough to put a slot across the t25 torx screw heads!!

[@mihailuciantugui7576]

Very useful. I'm thankful that I found this video before removing my entire front end 😂

[@LEEG337]

Thanks for making this video! It Was a great help!

[@dracula2815]

Thanks for the vid, I'm my case I started from inside of the trim by pulling those "wings" (that are bending in the vid) with my finger. Push wing inside with your finger and pull out trim with other hand, one wing and the other. Very easy and no tools required. Same when putting back, I started from putting inner side first. Hope it will help.

Thank you! This also works for American 2012 Passat 3.6 se with H8 bulbs

[@sohailnazir3689]

Perfect video,please keep uploading for this model,thank you

[@davidgeorge1281]

Wished I'd seen this before taking the engine out..... 😳

[@OlgierdSobiński]

Thanks - very useful - unlike the producer's description in the manual...

[@SonjaBlubBlub]

Tested, correct solution to disassemble, thanks 👍

[@akayamy7470]

You will need resistors to get the error message on screen to disappear and also to stop the hyper flash.

Thanks, I was trying to open from behind by the wheel .

[@jannolan1201]

Hi, is this the fornt cornering light on the dashboard? Thanks

[@gdigrup]

Could you tell me the name of Led model or a link to buy it. I've tried several versions of Led from aliexpress, but all of them have errors. Thank you

[@nahuelromano878]

Gracias amigo fue de mucha ayuda tu tutorial 😉

[@ricardomartins7993]

Thank you for the video! It will probably be very useful

[@iankelton7376]

2 minute job,thanks to video,good stuff :)

[@matthuggybear]

Thanks, saved breaking the grills

[@Jsamji]

Please can you put a link to the bulb you used?

[@vsantiesteban562]

Where can I buy the LED bulbs for my 2015 VW Passat?

[@user-user-heybati]

Спасибо !

[@kingsley.chimezie]

This is a non-bulb related issue - can the two chrome pieces on the DLR grill be detached? I'm going to check this with my Passat but maybe you can answer me before then. Useful video btw!

[@darkocvetkovic4185]

Thanks men , i do it by myself

[@tomakirqzov3025]

THANKS 👍

[@jura36able]

what do you call these bulbs and where they have to buy.

[@ja2wad]

much appreciated

[@barryhand5396]

what is the make of new bulb used...

[@TheAburika]

It is legal to do something like that??

[@SBurak01]

hi what is the socket type of the bulb

[@Signaturelux37]

hi where will i buy all xenon bulbs for Passat 2011 highline?

[@mattwaddy1]

I don't suppose anyone knows the part number for the screw that you first take off which helps retain the grill? Mine is missing on one side of the vehicle

[@KentisMentis]

Drive to your local VW dealership and head over to parts with the screw from your other side. They'll know what it is and theyll only be a dollar or two

[@mohammadshabir643]

Hectic job

[@rafdrives]

very weird, as soon as I start the engine, there's an error appearing, but after I turn lights off so drl turn on it all disappear and after it doesn't come back.

[@Wello789]

@David Shields its because the LEDs are non-canbus. This means that they give out an error as if they were faulty. Next time buy LEDs with CANBUS compatibility or "error free".

[@amzarnacht6710]

@@Wello789 Or just ignore the bum light error. I've had one for years... because of a perfectly ordinary, non LED light (OEM) in the trunk. It's still on, but the car can't figure that out.

[@emilsimao5377]

Yes what's the seller or link to get the same lights...

Do you have any error?

Hallo, ... man,.... wenn du schon mit dem Handy filmen mußt weil du keine Kamera hast dann filme bitte quer und nicht hochkant. Wenn du die Kamera quer einstellst sieht man viel mehr.

[@hias8197]

z.b. auch sein Kennzeichen, das er bestimmt nicht will. man sieht genau das, was man sehen muss.

[@Tesserolli]

Could someone share me the led type

[@amzarnacht6710]

Yeah.. one of the reasons I'll never buy VW again. They made the simplest things - such as replacing a bad headlamp assembly or this DRL - so damn complicated you need a body shop just to change a light bulb.

[@e1coxjrg]

Amzar Nacht nope this is wrong. The task took about 5 minutes and the plastic cladding was easy on and off

[@amzarnacht6710]

@@MrWoods0_0 They are? The 1.8 turbo was *plagued* with problems, primarily the AC system and timing belt over-tensioning. They've ironed much of those out with the newer 2.0 turbos, however. OFC, now the rear lights and camera have all gone out, the radio hard-resets randomly, and the shift points are a little... strange.
