Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Driver Side Low Beam Is Out

My driver side low beam is out. I replaced the bulb and it is still out. I got a second new bulb, replaced it, and low beam still does not work. The high beam works, the turn signal, and fog lamps work, just not the low beam. the passenger side is fine. I checked the fuses and they are not burned out.

Passat (B5) :: Low Beam Bulb Go Out On Driver Side - Headlight Adjustment?

I had a low beam bulb go out a month ago on the driver side. I bought some silvania silverstars to install on both sides. The drivers side went fine but as I installed the passenger side the inside reflector housing came loose, apparently popping off some spring clips inside the headlight housing. The passenger side headlight assembly now pointed towards the ground 10 feet in front of the car... I tried to adjust the screws to bring the light pattern back up. No joy.

Anyway I messed and messed trying to get the reflector housing to fit back on the spring clips. I ended up having to pull the bumper apart and the whole front side of the car to totally remove the headlight assembly. Once I got it out I found these little ball/socket spring clips and was able to put the assembly back together.

Now my issue is I have lost track of the adjustment screws and where the headlights should point. Any formula such as, "park your car 10ft from the garage door on the flat level. The low beam should be 30 inches off the ground on the bottom and the 40 inches at the top. The beam should be 50 inches from the center line of the car" Something like that so that I can get my headlights back to factory settings.

Passat (B5) :: Driver Side Low Beam Doesn't Work After Replacement Of Both Low Beams Bulb

I had the heater core flushed, inspection done, a tie rod end replaced, and both low beams replaced to pass inspection in January. The driver's side low beam stopped working after a week.

When I would hit a bump in the road, it would start working for a while till I hit another bump and then it would go off. Now the driver's side low beam never works.

I could have gone back to the mechanic, but it's an 80 mile round trip(they used to be a lot cheaper than the dealership). Now that the weather is starting to get better, do you think it's a simple problem that I can fix myself? I don't want to waste 80 miles worth of gas just to have them charge me for something that they already charged me to fix. The next time I'm due an oil change I may go there and demand that they fix the light too, but I'm not going to waste 80 miles of gas just for the light.

Passat (B5) :: 2002 - Passenger Side Low Beam Headlight Not Working

I am having an issue with the passenger side low beam headlight on a stock 02 Passat. Bulb is fine but after testing confirmed no juice to that side. Drivers side works fine as do the running lights on both sides. Fuse is fine and after an afternoon of looking at it I am about ready to beat my head up against the wall. Only other clue is the cig lighter went out about (not sure if the exact) same time.

Passat (B5) :: 2002 1.8t Sedan - HIDs Blowing Low Beam Fuses

Car is a 2002 b5.5 1.8t sedan.

Bought the DDM Tuning HIDs, 3500k 35w for the fogs, installed with no problems. Also ordered the 5000k 35w for the low beams. Installed them, they flickered on for a second, then nothing. Let the ballasts charge for a while but still nothing. Called DDM, they said my car needs a error code eliminator kit thing later they were at my doorstep. Plugged one side in, flicked on then nothing. Thought both sides might need the code eliminators plugged in...wrong. both flickered on, and then nothing. Tried again, no flicker, both low beam fuses burned. Plugged the regular bulbs in, changed the fuses, lights working again.

I don't know much about electrical, but DDM said i def don't need a relay kit. Do I need a relay kit? Or would putting higher amperage fuses in the place of the original ones work? if so what amperage?

Passat (B5) :: 2002 - High Beam Switch No Longer Working

So, last night I go to turn on the high beams on my 2002 Passat (pushing the bar on the left of the steering column forward) ... and nothing happens. The bar clicks into place as it should, but no high beams. The little indicator light on the dashboard does not come on, either.

I try to flash my high beams, and that DOES work. The brights come on, and the little indicator lights up when the beams engage.

So ... I know it's not a fuse, since the lights are actually functioning. What part/switch/relay/whatever needs to be replaced to get this fixed? I feel like this would involve me needing to pull apart the mechanism in the steering column, but I hope not ...

Passat (B6) :: 2007 1.8T - Low Beam On Passenger Side Not Working But High Beam Does

This morning a dash light informed me a headlight bulb was out. It was my DTR light on the passenger side.

I purchased Sylvania H7 high intensity, installed it and it failed to work properly. Daytime light on only drivers side works.

High Beam on , both lights works.

I checked my manual and it said to check fuse in the 5 slot on the driver side dash/door panel and there actually is no fuse in there. I checked the driver side and there was no fuse there either.

I replaced my driver side bulb last year and it took 5 mins....i am already 4 hours into this!

Passat (B5) :: 2002 - Key Fob Will Unlock Driver Door Only

I have a 2002 passat. Recently, the door locks have been doing strange things. The key fob will unlock the drivers door only. Yesterday, when I hit the unlock button, the door lock button went up but the door remained locked. Even using the key itself, the door would not open. I had to climb in through the read hatch (it was a wagon or I'd still be locked out). Where the problem lies? The dealer suspects some component in the drivers door is malfunctioning. How to trouble shoot this without taking the door apart? If not, how do I take the door apart?

Golf V R32 :: Driver Side High Beam Always On

I have been trying to sort this issue for a while now to no avail. I have had my MKV .:R since February and this problem has existed since I bought it. If the headlight switch is in the "off" position, my lights are off. That is good.

So far, whenever the switch is switched to "auto," the light are ALWAYS on. That doesn't bother me at all, but it seems wrong. Obviously, when it is in the "on: position, they're also on.

Now the problem I have encountered is whenever the lights are on (ie not in the "off" position) the driver's side light is always on the "high" position, even if my brights are not flicked on. The passenger light switches from low to high according to whether I have the brights flicked on or off.

My wife and I bought a 2002 Passat Wagon 4Motion V6 this fall and we really like the car. It recently got very, very cold here and the drivers door makes a loud unlubricated squeak every time we open it. It has warmed up but the squeak remains. What kind of lube to use on the door hinges? Silicon spray or something else?
