Title: Problem with the headlight bulb, xenon corning etc... Help
Post by: ConeKiller on May 10, 2012, 02:50:27 pm

HI guys

My Gf has a 2006 VW Eos, it has the xenon headlights that turn with the steering wheel, as well as the 'curb lighting lights' built in.

The passenger side dipped and main beam has stopped working, which has also caused a flashing yellow 'bulb' light on the dash.

How can this be sorted out without being taken to VW as its not just a simple bulb im guessing, anyone had this problem before and solved it themselves?

Thanks in advance  :happy2:

Im presuming the dipped and main beam are the same bulb so if one goes the other goes awsell??? if so then have a search of eBay for Eos xenons bulb and see if you can get one second hand or even new...VW still charge near on £100 for 1 bulb :scared:

The bulbs are quite simple to change but usually access is limited so makes a simple job turns into a nightmare
