REPLACING BULBS 
Before starting to replace a bulb, switch off 
the respective circuit. 
Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb 
with bare fingers. Finger prints left on the 
glass evaporate when the bulb gets hot, 
the vapor settles on the reflector surface  and dims it. 
Always use the same
 type
 of bulb. The  designation is marked on the bulb. 
It is advisable to always
 carry
 a box of 
spare bulbs in the vehicle. Bulbs can be 
obtained from any VW dealer.

bulbs which are important for traffic safety:
