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.

Thanks

for the most part you open the hood and get your hands behind the headlight assembly and turn the socket and pull the headlight bulb out if you have a autozone near you and you get the blub from them they will help you with installing it try this website www.autozone.com

SOURCE: 2006 VW PASSAT. TRYING

The engine cover just pulls off the clips so no problem their the oil filter is inside a plastic housing at the front of the engine rightish side and it has a 32mm or 28 mm head on the top of the plastic housing as its a cartridge type oil filter not a screw on type that you are accustomed too.

Headlights don't work in a 2006 VW Passat. Running lights work and bright lights work. I can't find the fuse box to check the fuse.

This same thing happened to me... Took it to a VW dealer and ran diagnostics... found nothing. After days of frustration I found it wasn't a fuse problem at all. Replaced the bulbs with "Bright Whites" from Napa... After replacing the bulb I still had trouble with right side, it took several attempts to install it properly, before it worked. Had to do this against the garage door to be able to tell when they were working properly. Therefore, I found that it was all in the way I was installing it.

Need to change light bulb on 2006 vw passat. Do I turn the square block in the light housing or the fixture in the square block.???

HI,

There are 2 bent prongs that hold the light bulb in. The tooth faces down, and the prongs are positioned parallel to each other.

Leave the harness connected as you will use this to wedge it out.

With a hook tool (Walmart in tool section $8) position it over one of the prongs. With the other hand, reach in and pull on the harness down towards the tooth while pushing in on the prong. Once you get that side to slide forward a bit, the other will release.

Be careful not to touch the bulb if you plant to replace or reuse. They are not something you can buy OTC. These bulbs are made in Germany & they are made to be this color. Aftermarket lights have a yellow tint compared to these. They are comparable to the White Star $20 each.


Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Trying to remove the lightbulb from a passat 2006 the front light (headlights)

Just take off the back cover of the light housing, unplug the bulb, undo any retaining clips (VW often uses a swing-latch style metal retainer), and grab the base of the bulb. Twist it to unlock, and it should come right out.
