Thanks a ton! This saved me some money. FYI for anyone reading: this is valid for 2015 VW Passat as well.

[@ilianavelasquez7989]

Did you buy the same bulbs that are in the video??

[@akshayjagtap6638]

@@ilianavelasquez7989 Yes exact same ones from Autozone.

[@nelsonimhof2664]

Just did this for the rear LEFT turn signal bulb of my 2012 VW Passat 3.6 SEL. Just a heads up to anyone doing the same: the felt panel is much larger/more obvious, but workable space to access the first clip and plastic screw of the bulb housing is much smaller; would recommend having a flashlight handy too. SUPER HELPFUL video overall. Thank you!! This took less than 10 minutes for a complete novice. Also, it's recommended that you don't touch these types of bulbs with exposed skin (the oils of your fingertips can cause the bulb to get "cloudy" and can also reduce the lifespan of the bulb). A thin latex/plastic glove would be helpful, but I just used a folder up paper towel :)

[@bryangrim6021]

Helped me with me daughters 2013. Thank you so much. Never would have seen the removable felt panel in the trunk. Never would have guessed it can all be done with no tools required. You saved me a lot of time.

[@JGTV21]

Glad I was able to help!

[@greatcesari]

I was tampering in all the wrong spots, and had no idea this was a tool-less fix.
Super helpful, thanks!

[@RescuedCat]

Thank you! This was a tremendous help to me. I was able to change the bulb all by myself on my 2014 Passat thanks to your excellent video.

[@JGTV21]

Glad the video helped you out

[@alexgumirov7610]

This video just saved me $90 dealership was asking to replace the bulb. Watched this video for 10 minutes, drove to the store and spend another 10 minutes to put everything back together. Cost of pair of bulbs at the local auto-part store was $8. My 2015 model was slightly different but once I got an idea it was easy to figure out. Thanks!

[@VeronicaOBerry]

Thank you! I just changed mine today.
P.S. you can unscrew the lamp fixture, white knob, before unhooking the electrical, black and red connector. This made it easier to access and release the connector.

[@timkerley-onapersonaldevel4996]

Thanks! I wasn't sure if there was a way to do it without taking the whole light housing out. Very helpful!

[@christopherbari773]

Thank you seriously, I tried watching two other videos and the videos were hard to watch mostly out of focus or something. Just ty for being simple and to the point 👏

[@JGTV21]

Very welcome!

[@NalakittyAMVs]

You are a godsend 😭 With your help I think I can actually do this myself instead of waiting forever for someone else to help me with it!

[@gillianwilliams735]

[@matthamann3007]

Thank you for posting this as I was at a lose as to how to change the turn signal bulb on my 2012 VW Passat. Hats off to you.

[@manosdeperro]

Thank you ! I just changed the left side bulb, since from the left side the black switch can't be seen it takes a little bit more wiggling.

[@DashaeAnita]

This helped tremendously! I had a difficult time getting the clip out so my neighbor had to help but the step by step instructions helped alot! Thank you

[@genoray3071]

Thanks so much! I just swapped mine out in under 5 minutes without ever leaving the parking lot.

[@timkruger2775]

Thank you, Sir! Nicely done!! Appreciate your detailed, instructional style! ... now, I'm going to go out there and replace my rear Left Turn signal bulb! :) 👍

[@backroadhustler2162]

Thanks brother, your video was very helpful and saved a lot of time for me 2012 vw passat tdi bulb 7506 Sylvania this can also be done by pulling the wire plug and clip after you unscrew the lens not much room but it can be done so nothing falls down the trunk. Nice job!!!

[@sjsphotog]

Thanks needed to change mine again on my '12 SEL Premium. Wow you have a lot of miles on your 2012 SEL. I only have 53k ;) btw tip : use GLOVES when installing the new bulb(s) so that your finger oils don't get on it and cause the bulb to burn out too fast. Also if you change one you must change BOTH otherwise the older one remaining will quickly burn out within a week or so as the voltage will be different between the old and new bulbs.

[@noahweathers4408]

Your video really helped out, although for me it took a few minutes for the new light to come on. Thank you for the help.

[@orsimatusek5650]

Thank you so much!!! I had to show this to a few people in my household as they didn't believe me.

[@unlisted8042]

Thanks for the video. Just changed my bulb.

[@Nympho4Hire]

Thank you so much, this kind of thing is definitely not worth bringing it somewhere $$. That little red safety clip was WAY too hard to manipulate with my fingers, so I used a very small thin flat head screwdriver to yank it up. Now to see if I can fix my side view mirror...

[@joelfranco8145]

VW: How can we make everything about our cars as complicated as possible? 🧐

[@tatianacsogor7514]

[@KoatesTheGoates]

Thank you so much! It helped with my 2015 Passat, too!

[@drrich8008]

Thank you for making this video! I feel super relieved with my turn signal fixed

[@iamblessed2553]

Thank you so much....you definitely saved me money!!

[@sjsphotog]

One tip: use painters tape ( or a buddy) to hold the light housing in place while you work the other side. You don't want to drop that as its very expensive to replace the housing.

[@dhksfus1]

Thank you so much it saved a lot of money for me

Hi
Do you have any idea if it’s possible to make the light of the signal to be below this, I meant in the bottom as you can see the clear space and to be in orange colour?
