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.

SOURCE: where is the fuse box on a vw passat
Open the drivers side door. There is a panel that the door covers when it is closed. The fuse box is behind that plastic cover.
Shut off your Volkswagen Passat before replacing a fuse. Find the fuse box on the driver's side of the car, under a plastic cover on dashboard to the left side, door open.
