The passenger side low beam went out. I replaced the bulb and it still didn't work. Then the driver's side low beam went out too. I tried replacing both bulbs at once, it didn't work. Then i checked the fuses, both under the hood and under the dash. The fuses are good. The high beams are good, the running lights, break lights and turn single lights are good. Just the low beams.

When driving one evening, i noticed both low beams not providing light. My high beams work so i drove with them as to not drive in the dark. I was unable to see traveling on a highway at 65 mph. I had to use my high beams even with on coming traffic causing a safety issue for them also. When low beams are turned on, only a small light that does not prove any llight to see is on. I noticed this while driving. I have…

After replacing three right side headlight bulbs in my 20k miles of ownership, last week both headlights went out at the same time while driving down the highway. I heard a strange noise as if a relay was continuously being triggered. I have heard lots of strange relay sounds(chatter) from beneath the dash of this vehicle. I checked fuses; though volkswagen does not provide or publicly publish fuse box diagrams, i…

Headlights stopped working on dim. Then tailights went out. We've had the car 2 1/2 years and this is second time the headlights have went out like this.

In traffic, the single low tone horn on the jetta is barely audible. The vw dealer service manager says the horn is standard, and acceptable to them and will not replace it. Is a vehicle horn a safety issue? Yes. If the horn does not give out sound which is audible on the roadway, what good is it? Why is a horn required for a vehicle inspection sticker?
