Passat (B5) :: 2003 - Passenger Side Headlights Does Not Lit Up When Switched On
Jul 25, 2011
Bought my 1st VW 2003 4 Motion W8. Love it! Headlight problems though. It's equipped with Bi Xenon lights? Thought they were just called xenon, but not sure. Drivers side comes on when car is started, but not passenger. This is with switch off and the drl light is on. Passenger side doesn't come on when lights are switched on. But if i turn the car off and back on both headlights light up. When both lights work when turned on neither work when turned off but i believe they should be on for daytime running lights. I have noticed the drivers side light(the one that works all the time)is very white in color and the pass side which is hard to get on is blue in color. High beams work normal. Do i need to change pass bulb?

I have a 2003 Supercrew that does not have daytime running lights/automatic lights. However, when I start my truck, there's about a 2-5 second delay, I hear a relay click and my headlights come on even when the lights are switched to off. I pulled the dash apart. There is no sensor, relay or anything. Looked under the hood, there's no hint of anything for auto headlights or daytime running lights. I don't really care too much that the lights come on by themselves, especially in broad daylight. Can I get some leads on what to chase down in order to get these lights to stop coming on automatically?

I own a 2008 Prius Touring and originally it was only the passenger headlight that would go out but since I've had it replaced not only is the driver's side going out and flickering but the passenger side still shuts off! If I get the driver's headlight (which is very old) replaced will it solve the problem? Is it a deeper problem? If so what is it and how do I fix it?

2003 Passat 1.8T, 53,000 miles. There's a clunk coming from the front passenger side so I jacked the car up today and checked it out. Not much play at all when I moved the wheel. Tie rod ends look good, CV boots are intact, control arm bushings look good........except for one. The outer bushing on the passenger side lower rear arm is cracked. I assume this means I should replace that arm?

I have a '93 Accord SE and am having a problem with the headlights not lighting when switched on. All other lights, etc., appear to work; the dash, running lights, etc. I have had instances where the headlights would blink on/off a couple times before staying on, but now they just do not come on at all.
When they blinked, it was both lights together, which would lead me to believe this is not an issue with poor connections (corrosion), or the switch itself, but rather wiring related. Just a guess.

I have a 2010 RX450H and recently I've noticed the inner taillights (the portion that is stuck on the boot door) fails to light up when the headlights are switched on. At times I give it a nudge and it seems to work again. I'm guessing it's a loose connector somewhere. I tried look at the boot door but couldn't figure out how to get to the taillights. Is it even worth my trouble to attempt fixing it myself or should I send it in to the dealer to have it looked it.

Both the high and low beams for the passenger side on my 06' GLS are not working. Fuses and bulbs are fine.
Is there anything additional I can check that provides electrical power to one side of the headlights?

My 02 F-350, running lights and fog lights work fine but when I switch to headlights everything goes dark. Neither high beams or low beams work. Checked the light switch and its fine. Haven't found any blown fuses and headlight bulbs look fine.

I just picked up my brand new 2010 Prius II tonight (8 miles on odo). I have a small issue though the headlights (both driver and passenger has moisture/condensation in the headlights) is this normal should I be worried? I'm hoping it will go away.

I have a 2007 Ford Escape with a passenger side low beam that won't turn on when the headlights are turned on. I have replaced both low beam lights and checked all the fuses. Fuses are ok,none are burned out. My high beams work perfectly as well as my fog lamps. I need any and all advice and information , including any simple wiring diagrams that could be of use . Is it possible that the multi function switch for the turn lights and headlights is the problem?.

Two months ago I walked out to my car as it was remote started and realized the driver side headlight was out. With a quick tap to the lens it was fixed with no further problems to date. As of yesterday my passenger side headlight and side marker went out. The first thing I tried was the tap method which only brought the sidemarker back to life. Could it be the bulb or a worse problem. I am not sure if its just the bulb seeing that the side marker is going off and on.

I dropped off my 2012 Passat to the dealer this morning because the driver's DRL was out and the passenger headlight was out. Normally I'd change bulbs myself and be on my way but since this is new and under warranty, I let them do the work.
Anyway, fixed the DRL (bad bulb). But the passenger headlight assembly needs replacing. Seems I have fallen victim to a melted housing causing a failure. I've read about the situation somewhere here on the forums and suspected it might be the case. So VW is 2-3 days out on getting a new part and I'm in a loaner for the time being.
I'm guessing this happens a lot with this part. I wonder if VW will issue a recall in the future.

2008 Prius... The right side main head lamp sometimes does not come on when I switch on the lights, this started happening about 10 days ago, rarely at first, about 50% of the time now.
