Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Way To Replace Original Headlight Bulbs?
Dec 4, 2014
Headlight bulbs. So I am looking to replace my bulbs because mine don't seem to have that great of light output. I am not sure if it is the actual headlight or if it is just the bulbs? Is it possible to just replace the bulbs and get better light output? I am not sure of the brand of headlights I have but I am pretty sure they are some cheap aftermarket ebay headlights. I want to replace the headlights in the future but for now I was wondering if I can get away with just replacing the bulbs. When selecting the bulbs, are they all pretty much universal or do I have to buy specifically for the type of headlights I have?

Also looked through our manuals and saw jack. Looked at the inside of the rear hatch and saw no easy way of replacing the rear tail light bulbs. I'm guessing that i would have to take out the plastic and/or carpet to get to it?

So on the way home tonight my passenger side bulb went out. No big deal, I pull into the auto store and pick up a set of new bulbs. The problem is now that the light that went out is not working at all. I replaced it and reset the bulb to make sure it is tightly connected and nothing. Next I try the other working bulb in the passenger socket and still nothing. All other lights work. City bulb, high beam and turn signal works in the housing.

How to replace the fog light bulbs on a 2015 IS250? Or is it even possible? I called the dealership, and they didn't know the bulb size. In fact, he said they were LED bulbs. Is there a DIY for replacing the fog lights?

I have read several threads about replacing them with LED's (which is what I am doing), but I cannot figure out how to get that plastic cover out!
I don't want to just start jamming the screwdriver in randomly, as I will probably crack something.

Is this any easier in my 2004 VW Passat than it was in my 2001 VW Jetta? In the Jetta, I had to disconnect the battery and dislocate my elbow and wrist in order to get my hand in the awkwardly placed compartment. Also, is it worth stepping up the original OEM to high intensity bulbs?

I have a 2006 VW Passat which has been eating low beam bulbs. I've probably replaced this one 4 times in the last 12 months. The last time I replaced was 2 days ago with a Sylvania bulb. Yesterday on my way to work it burnt out. Then on my way home last night I was pulled over by a cop for it. That really annoyed me.
Having issue with Passat burning through headlight bulbs? Do I need to have the wiring assembly checked or possibly replace the entire headlight assembly? I'm getting really tired of changing these bulbs so often.

I installed new headlights today and the headlight bulbs are not lighting. When I turn the headlight's on the high beam indicator remains lit no matter if the high beams are on or not. I should note that this style headlight has a separate bulb for low and high beams. I am skeptical that all four headlight bulbs are bad. Is it possible the wiring for the connector is not correct?

I have a couple of questions regarding changing out my headlight from halogen bulbs to an HID kit.
1st) What size bulb are the low beam (headlights)?
2nd) What HID kit would be recommended? I am trying to replace the halogen bulb with an HID bulb, a plug and play HID kit that will last but also does not reflect every where such as replacing reflectors with halogen to an HID kit.

My friend with a 2007 SC430 has been having weird electrical issues for the past few years. He's owned the car about 6 years now, and probably 3 or 4 years ago things seem to have started acting up:
- the car burns out headlight and foglight bulbs very often, usually after less than a year since they are replaced. It hasn't mattered if the replacements he tries are OEM Lexus or aftermarket, they burn out within a year or so - sometimes within only a few months. He previously owned a 2002 SC430 for about 4 years and never had to replace any bulbs. On the 07, it's usually always one of the driver's side bulbs that will go first, and then within a month or two the passenger's side goes. Sometimes a headlight goes, then the foglight on the same or opposite side goes. Other times a fog goes out and a short time later the headlight on that side goes out.
- his driver's seat heated seat stopped working earlier last year. First the "bottom" stopped working, then a few weeks later the "back" section stopped too. Lexus diagnosed blown heating elements, which can't be replaced without replacing the entire section of the seat. So he found a complete seat from a wrecker and swapped it in. Everything worked fine for about 3 months, and now he is back to no heated seat again (this time both the back and bottom sections stopped working at the same time)
A Lexus dealer spent 4 hours "diagnosing" the car and came back saying all electrical systems are normal, so they can't say why the bulbs are always burning out or why two different seats have stopped working. The car is getting up there in mileage (closing in on 200K miles) but has always been properly maintained.

I've had HyperWhite bulbs on previous cars and they're great. Much whiter than the "yellow" factory bulbs.
What would be a close color match to my LED parking light which looks sort of bluish? The new parking light LEDs are 6000K color temperature.
