#7 of 12 Re: 03 w8 xenon lowbeam problem [tomk123] by cgrooby Sep 10, 2009 (7:46 pm)
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)

#12 of 12 2002 headlight change by bambouleee Nov 29, 2009 (2:52 pm)
Hello,   I blew a light bulb (low beam I think) and was wondering how to do the replacement. My car is not under warranty so I will do it myself, I refuse to go to a dealer for something like this.   I read and heard that this was tricky, in fact the owner's manual recommends to go to the dealer, since the bulbs can only be reached through the engine compartment.   altair4 posted a while ago a link that would explain how to do this, but the link is dead. The post (#160) is here: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0aef02/159#MSG159   I do plan on getting a service/repair manual that would probably detail the procedure, in the meantime I though I'd post here and ask. There are two hex screws on top of each headlight, but something tells me I should start somewhere else.   Any idea or hint?   Thank you.
