I started to put LEDs in mine and noticed the same but not as bad as yours so now Im gonna order some. Great detail and info on the repair bro Thanks man
I just put in after market headlights on my 2004 jetta because one of my headlights went out (and the old one were ugly and faded) and now the same one doesnt work, but those wires dont look bad.. what could be the problems? I already checked the fused and the connections match perfectly. I cant figure out what's wrong. Could it be an old battery?
I don't think a battery would do that. You could check for voltage at the headlight connections if you think its not getting power. I would check your bulbs. Thats where I suspect the issue is. When installing the bulbs, someone may have inadvertently touched the bulb itself (instead of only handling the base). What happens is the oils from your hands makes a hot spot on the bulb when its burning and they will burn out very rapidly. Id check the bulbs. If they are still good, then Id check for voltage at the headlight connection then again at the bulb connection.
Hit Man I’d recommend you check it with a volt meter. Unplug the light, turn only headlights on then check for voltage at each terminal. Then you will know for sure. You could also do that inside the headlight housing. Repeat the process for the turn signal. You will know you’ve got it right when your voltmeter jumps back and forth between 12v and 0 volts (blinker working)

Bravo for this video. Helped me solve an issue where headlight shutter was stuck open/on in my 2008 R32
glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video.. But you should zoom to the head lights at all time
Are the harnesses the same for the driver's side and the passenger side?
yes they are the same
Any idea of the part number at 6:26? When you say “we need to reuse this piece”. Mine is broken and has no clip to hold it on.
I don't know that part number but if you have u-pullit style junkyards in your area, Id just go there!
grande grazie da l'italia

Complimeti for the video, I also have the same problem, I'm in Italy, na mom I can find the wiring. where did you buy it?
Thank you
Maurizio Ielo I got the harnesses at www.fixmyvw.com.
Which color wire is power on a 2015 Passat an the color blinker wire
