So these vehicles do what's called a cold bulb diagnostics on startup. It's expecting a certain resistance on a circuit; when you install LEDs you are changing that resistance value causing a false positive. You can look into what's called LED load equalizers, which might work or just switch back to incandescent bulbs. It's your decision, but I have often found that the juice is not worth the squeeze.

It's used to start the bulb, an ignitor provides a high-voltage pulse to the bulb, which creates a spark, ionizing xenon gas in the bulb, creating a conducting tunnel between the tungsten electrodes at the top and bottom of the glass tube. The ballast is located on the underside of the headlight housing.

Yeah as shown in the video as method two, not sure if the B8 Passat passenger side can be changed in this method or if the washer fluid reservoir is in the way. On the CC's, which are not built on the MQB platform like the American made Passats, this method doesn't work on the passenger side via the wheel well liner from what I remember.

Then I attempted to buy a bulb and AutoZone said it was $131.99 just for 1 bulb and I was in shock. So I went on Temu and found the same bulbs 2 for $10.95 and I immediately ordered them and they are being shipped from a local warehouse.

Hey Aures Aures, I have not experienced that issue, however I would suspect it has something to do with the high beam shutter and/or shutter motor. All I can suggest is researching the headlights internals and troubleshooting. I would think the shutter would default to low beam, maybe it stuck, maybe an impact caused this issue? Removing the headlamp assembly from the car will give you the best access to take a look at the internals. Best of luck to you resolving this issue.

I gave up years ago on that. I did install the euro light switch with trigger wire, coded it with vagcom etc tested, tested....

Also, the rear tail lights are missing the inner LED modules that act as the rear fog lamp, the US spec tails do not have.

Once you determine which connector controls the backup lights you then can determine polarity using a meter.

Hey Rondel, I have not had this issue yet but I did take a quick look at it. From what I can tell the ribbon cable (red arrows) as shown in the images below are not serviceable. The only way you will be able to replace the entire LED DRL assembly is to separate the headlight assembly from the lens. That said; it might still be worth checking to ensure something didn’t work itself loose. The ribbon cable connections can be seen after you remove the dust covers on the rear of the headlight and the cornering bulb service dust cover. I tried to get you the best images I could as it’s a very tight space. If you are able to check all the ribbon cable connections and the DRL is still not working, then you will need to replace the entire headlight assembly which even used can be on the pricey side. Another option would be to explore how to disable LED DRL, via dealer of VAGCOM. Best of luck. photos.app.goo.gl/hNKZ232fisP5HaU99

I have not had to replace washer pumps or seals. Personally I would try removing wheel well liner first but if I remember correctly the pumps are on the front of the washer reservoir. I have another video on replacing headlight washer which might be an option for you. Best of luck with the repair. I just reviewed my other video on headlight washer; it appears the pumps are inboard so headlight removal might be the easiest option. Or even the belly pan removal might give you access to the pumps, start there.
