How to Replace a Headlight Bulb on a 2002 Passat
- 1). Pop the hood. Reach around to the back side of the headlight and locate the headlight-bulb socket. Unplug the wiring from the socket using the flat-head screwdriver. Pull off the rubber cap if your Passat has one.
- 2). Twist the collar around the base of the headlight bulb counterclockwise. Then pull the bulb out of the headlamp.
- 3). Set the replacement bulb into the headlamp, making sure not to touch the glass of the bulb with your hands. Then twist the locking collar onto the bulb.
- 4). If your headlamp came with a rubber cap, push it back on at this time. Then push the wiring harness onto the bulb to complete the connection.
