Passat (B6) :: Right Headlight Went Out While Fogs Are Turned On?
Jan 6, 2014
I have Xenon HID, adaptive headlights, what ever you want to call them. Normally, I run my headlights in Auto, which means the fogs are off. This morning I needed the fogs so when I turned them on, the right headlight went out, throwing up the fault light.
I ordered a pair of bulbs this morning but on my way home, the lights were functional again in Auto. As a test, I turned on the fogs again and sure enough, the right low beam went out and the fault light lit up.
Is this an early indicator of a bulb going or is related to something else?

I've been toying with the idea of doing the OEM fog light retrofit since I got the car, but had some concerns with the buzzing reported by some TDI owners. Ended up needing to put money elsewhere.
I followed the instruction from another poster, gforce1108, to bypass the BCM and ground the White/Black wire to keep the fogs on with high beams as well as eliminate any buzzing. Going through the install was pretty easy with the exception of getting through the firewall into the engine compartment, but using a wire hanger as a guide I was able to get that done. Got everything connected and turned on the lights but the fogs are not coming on.
I thought it might be a problem with where I had the white/black wire grounded, but moving it to various metal supports under the steering column made no difference. I then decided to just follow the included instructions to tap to the BCM hoping that would at least make them work, but no dice.
I'm at a loss. I've checked that there is power going to F37 on the fuse box where I have the red wire inserted, 15 amp fuse is installed, and rechecked every connector to make sure it was flush. Not sure what could be the issue. I've got the Euro Switch installed as well.
Not sure if it's worth noting, but when I turned it over after the install my dashboard lit up with ECM errors for the traction, tire pressure, and the steering wheel icon. I've seen in that thread mentioned above that other owners had lights come on on initial start after install, but after a trip around the block they went away. Mine are still present after driving for a day and a half.
My brother thinks it might be the relay plug is bad. Bought the kit from Keffer VW like a lot of others on here.

My 00 2.8 b5 doesn't have the fogs on the lower grill. How would I go about putting them on. But I don't want the fogs on my headlights to come on with them. I just wan the fogs on the lower grill to be on when I turn the fogs on.

I had the OEM projector fogs installed today, as well as the rear fog and Euroswitch (will post pics soon!). I love the look of the lights off just as much as on - such a great mod! My only concern is that there is some kind of haze (almost like condensation, but not) on the inside of the driver's side housing. It doesn't appear to obstruct the light, but it is clearly visible when the fogs are on. What this might be?

Headlight symbol says headlights on - but no headlights on 2006 Prius.

I drive a 2007 Prius - about 185k miles on it and purchased it used a few years ago. It's needed minor maintenance to it but overall it's served me well.
I hopped in my car this evening and went to turn on the headlights. After turning the knob, the lights came on - then both faded and turned off. These are halogen bulbs. Here's what I have tested - I don't have light in my driveway...

Last night we went to look at some Christmas lights in a drive through park. There was a sign in the beginning of the park that said "Headlights off please." This seems to be impossible on the Touareg. I turned the headlight switch to off but the daytime running lights stayed on. After calling my salesman at VW, he asked many service techs how to do this and they have never been approached with such a question. They were stumped. The salesman told me that I can shut the daytime running lights off by depressing the emergency brake but that doesn't even work. The lights still remain on. Is there a way to shut the headlights off?

I recently installed a new car stereo in my 05 CRV to replace the factory unit which had a broken CD player. Everything appeared to go fine, but I noticed at night that when the Head Light switch was turned on, only the top half of the dash lights would turn on, the lights for the AC/Heater failed to light, and the PRNDD1D2 lights which work fine in the day (sans the drive light not working, but that's been the case for a year now) would turn off. I've checked the fuses and found no blown ones, although the fact that the top half of the dash lights still turn on made a blown fuse seem less likely.
The lights that are left on will still dim/brighten when the dimmer knob is turned, and I noticed that if I pull the small lights fuse the dash lights don't work, but the PRNDD1D2 lights remain lit even with the headlights on. I've tried removing and re installing the factory stereo to see if there was a short in the new wiring harness, but that changed nothing. As is the car is still drivable, as the top half of the dash lights is enough to make all the gauges readable, but it's still a bit annoying. Any clues as to what I've done, and is there a reasonably cheap fix to the problem?

Had my '15 GS F Sport for a month, and thing fogs up really quick and easy. It can be 60 outside and in seconds my windows are fogged. I always have to drive with my defrost on, so today I got a rock chip and seconds later an 8" crack because of it.

New to the MK6 world and the halogens they have.. I am used to having Xenons... My question is there a way to run DRL's and fogs together?
I know there's a way to wire the city lights and fogs to run together, but I love the way the halogen DRLs look and i would like to run them together with the fogs. I do have a Euro switch.

I have a 2002 1.8t. The headlights have been going off and on intermittently for a little while now. I thought I fixed the drivers side but I guess I did not. It seemed there was a problem with the headlight socket so I took it apart and put electrical tape around the worn areas and put it back. It held up ok for a little while but would continue to go out. If I wiggle it comes back on. Then the passenger side started doing the same thing. I am wondering if a new wiring harness will fix the problem or could the problem be beyond that.

I have a 2007 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition. The passenger side headlight went out today. This is my first VW, but I've never had a headlight go out this early. A few questions:
1) Is this normal?
2) How much is a new bulb?
3) Can I replace it myself or should I go to the dealer?

Ok, so I pull into the garage tonite and it looks like the headlight is out (Passenger Xenon), I check. Yup. So, I turn the lights off and on and she comes back. Now, I have heard there is problems with the ignitor/etc with these lights. I am at 34,000 miles on the car. Is this covered under warranty or should I just make do with it. I suspect this has happened before as I had my coworker tell me my light was out before.
