If the good bulb worked on both sides and the bad bulb did not work on either side [I think this what you said] then the bulb is burnt out. Just to be sure see if the supposed defective bulb works on High beam.
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.
When you open the hood you will see a cover where the hood latch is. Some covers have individual doors on each side of the hood latch. If you have that type just pop the release on the cover and reach down to the headlamp bulb. It comes out with a twist with the socket and then pull the bulb free. Use a kleenex or gloves to install new bulb and reverse the process.
If the whole panel is one piece there are some plastic button holders to remove to lift the cover. Your headlights are underneath. In some cases the passengers side headlight may require removing the battery to access. Then just twist the socket and remove the bulb afterwards, then reverse process.
to change passenger side headlight bulb,on 04 plate yaris, remove bulb cover at rear of lamp,take off fuse box,although this only gives you slightly more room,and have someone with small hands,replace bulb,as it is nearly impossible if you have large hands.It is awkward but can be done,EVENTUALLY.
The filament in every bulb acts like a fuse. Also the fuse block may have fuses for your lights. Some cars do and some do not. If the fuses are good, more than likely a short in the wiring could be the problem. The switch is good if one light comes on you know
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
