WARNING
Improper replacement of burned out headlights and other light bulbs can cause serious
personal injury.
ꢀ
Stop! Always read and heed the WARNINGS before doing any work in the engine
compartment ⇒ Working in the engine compartment. The engine compartment of any motor
vehicle is a potentially dangerous area, and work in this area can lead to serious personal
injury.
ꢀ
HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights get power from a high voltage source
that can cause severe personal injury and even death if handled improperly.
H7 bulbs and HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon) headlights are under high pressure
and can explode if handled improperly.
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Always let a burned out light bulb cool down before replacing it.
Never replace a light bulb unless you are familiar with all of the necessary procedures. In
particular, never remove a headlight unless you know exactly how to carry out the job and
have the correct tools and light bulbs.
ꢀ
If you are uncertain about what to do, have the work performed by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer, an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, or another qualified
workshop. Serious personal injury may result from improperly performed work.
ꢀ
We strongly recommend that you always have HID – High Intensity Discharge (Xenon)
headlights and H7 bulbs replaced by a qualified technician.
Do not touch the glass of light bulbs with your bare hands. Fingerprints left on the bulb
evaporate due to the heat when the bulb is switched on and cause the reflector to “cloud.”
There are sharp edges on and around the headlight housing in the engine compartment
ꢀ
ꢀ
and the rear light housing. Wear hand protection if you replace bulbs.
NOTICE
After replacing a headlight bulb or other light bulb, always make sure that the rubber covers or
plastic caps have been properly and securely reinstalled to help prevent water from getting
into the electrical connections and the headlight housing and damaging the electrical system.
LEDs cannot be replaced. Contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility for assistance.
