#2 of 11 my advice by edmguy Sep 09, 2007 (10:23 pm)
you need to do a retrofit or go and complain like there's no tomorrow to your dealer. that is ridiculous. for your information you can get a retrofit at EBAY or somewhere like here.   either way get it fixed man. that sounds horrible.

#4 of 11 01 Passat Headlights? by emmur0 Nov 22, 2008 (5:44 am)
I recently was changing the low beam bulb on my 2001.5 Passat and noticed that the small black plastic piece that houses the bulb had melted. Without a manual (bought the car used) I can't seem to locate the actual name for this small black plastic part. Can anyone help me out?   E
#5 of 11 03 w8 xenon lowbeam problem by tomk123 Dec 01, 2008 (11:07 am)
I have been going around with my local service department for about 6 months on this problem. I cannot see further than about 30 feet in front of the car while driving w/ low beams. There seems to be a very delineated line to the edge of the light that is not high enough. They keep insisting that "the lights are hitting the marks" and I keep insisting that the lights are not right. I think that the problem is in a leveling system that is not working properly. I cannot seem to get anyone to confirm that this car has a leveling system. They say I am nuts.... Replies to this message: cgrooby (Sep 10, 2009 7:46 pm) tomk123 (Sep 13, 2009 5:00 pm)
#6 of 11 07 passat right day time drivers light by refdude6 Jul 27, 2009 (9:51 am)
Took in for 20k maint. & informed dealer that right day time drivers light was dimmer than left. I was told this was designed to be this way so oncoming traffic would not have light shine in their eyes. Maybe I could buy that ridiculous excuse if it were the left light. They supposably changed the bulb out with a new one to no avail. Anybody else have this problem?

Replying to: tomk123 (Dec 01, 2008 11:07 am) i've taken my car in 3 times now...I just bought my 2007 passat and am very disappointed in the fact that I cannot see beyond 20 feet at night...It's dangerous and unaccepetable for a car of this caliber. I may take it to another service center since I am out of ideas. I drive mountain roads to get to work and I need good reliable headlights! Replies to this message: tomk123 (Sep 13, 2009 5:00 pm)

Replying to: cgrooby (Sep 10, 2009 7:46 pm) Your lights are not functioning correctly!!! I got the run around for way too long too. I finally took the car in and told them I would not drive it anymore because it was a safety issue. I insisted they give me a loaner....and they did. It took them 3 weeks to get the car right. 2 new headlight assemblies, all of the level sensors, and the computer were changed before they got it right. Be persistent and insistent!!! I love my passat, but vw has got some really big issues with the electronics

Anybody know how to remove headlight assembly on a 2003. Headlight is loose in headlight "tube." Replies to this message: whitey9 (Oct 30, 2009 8:14 am)

Replying to: cha6 (Oct 24, 2009 9:02 pm) If I remember correctly, when I replaced the cam belt and other parts, I had to remove the bumper to get to the headlight ass'y.
