Hello, to change the headlight on your passat, follow this steps:
1. Pull off the air intake cover, and remove the intake mounting bolt and set the intake hose aside,(passenger side only).
2. Twist off the protective cover from the back of the headlight assembly. Press the tab to pull off the electrical connector.
3. Turn the bulb socket counter clockwise to unlatch, and then slip it away from the assembly.
4. Turn the old bulb counter clockwise to release from the socket .Install the new bulb by turning it clockwise. Hold the plastic base of the new bulb when installing . Touching the glass can cause it to prematurely fail.
5. Insert the module and turn it clockwise to lock it in the assembly. Reattach the electrical connector and twist the protective rubber cover unto the back of the assembly .
6. Reattach the intake hose (passenger side only) and tighten the bolt. Snap the plastic intake cover back on.

Try inspecting the wires, socket, and bulb for defects. Try a wiggle test on the wires to that lamp. See if there is any effect. If nothing inspect the socket for hot spots and/or corrosion.
turn on your low beams and look at the passenger side. as a general rule the low beam lights are the ones on the far side of the headlight bucket, not on the inside
