Question

How do I change headlights in a Volkswagen 2003 passat station wagen?

Answer 1

do you want to change the headlight housing or the headlight bulb? if its the bulb the old ones should slide right out , just slide the new ones in.

Answer 2

Open hood, you access the headlights by first removing the rubber dust covers. they are easily accessible on the drivers side but access on the passenger side is blocked by the air intake and filter housing cover. Remove these components to gain better access. Unplug the electrical connectors. Both high beam and low beam halogens lamps are held in the headlamp housings with spring wire retaining clips. Depress these retainers and pivot away to allow for bulb removal. Installation is the reverse of removal..... of course (: Note : the best thing anyone can do even if you do not plan on doing any major repairs is to purchase a basic maintenance and repair maunual published by haynes etc. For less then twenty dollars you will gain so much in the operation and find many tasks can be done very easily. It will pay for itself in far less then one garage visit.
