Troubleshooting
Changing the vehicle bulbs requires a certain amount of technical skill. Volkswagen therefore
recommends having bulbs replaced by a qualified workshop if you are uncertain. The work must be
performed by an expert if other vehicle parts around the affected bulbs need to be removed.
Volkswagen recommends having bulbs replaced by a Volkswagen dealership.
You should keep a box with spare light bulbs for the lights that ensure the vehicle is roadworthy in
the vehicle at all times. Spare bulbs are available from Volkswagen dealerships. In some countries it
is a legal requirement to have these spare bulbs in the vehicle.
It may be illegal to drive with defective lights of the exterior lighting.
Information on indicator and warning lamps can be found in the troubleshooting section at the end
of the chapter Troubleshooting
LED lights on the vehicle
The exterior lighting may feature LEDs: Owners cannot replace the LEDs themselves. If some LEDs
fail, this may be an indication that more elements are on the point of failure. In this case, have the
lights checked and replaced if necessary at a qualified workshop.

Some bulbs in headlights or in tail light clusters might have factory specifications that are different to
standard bulbs. The designation is inscribed on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
