Yesterday I started my jetta in the morning and lights worked, once I got to work turned lights switch off and lights were still on and after messig with the switch lights finally shut off. going home I didn't have lights!
Your multi switch could be bad. That's the switch you had to mess with to get the lighs to turn off. . Check with your local parts store for the part.
thanks i will ck that out, i was thinking it may be the switch, everything else works!

There is no recall regarding the headlights on that vehicle.
What typically happens is the wiring inside the light housing melts and the bare wires randomly touch each other.
You can verify this by taking one of the plastic covers off the back of a headlamp housing and checking out the three wire harness inside. It is extremely common for this to occur on that vehicle.
The wiring can be repaired, though difficult without removing the lamp.
If you wish to replace the wiring with factory replacement parts, there is no service parts for the lamp, you must replace the entire housing unfortunately. For this reason most people just repair the melted wires.

David,
Do you have a part number or location/description of the part you replaced? I have the same problem.
