Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / September 2007low beam headlights don't work on a VW Passat '93
I have a VW Passat '93 and the low beam lights have stopped working. The fog lights still work, as do the full beam. Is this likely to be an electrical problem or can I just try replacing the bulbs? I believe I need H4 bulbs. Is it worth a shot? Thanks for your help. > I have a VW Passat '93 and the low beam lights have stopped working. > The fog lights still work, as do the full beam.

It is likely worth buying a $5.00 multimeter so you can check if there is voltage at the bulbs when on low beam before forking out for new bulbs.

If the vehicle has low beam DRLs my money would be on bulbs, I have heard complaints of short bulb life on VWs so equipped. nate >>> I have a VW Passat '93 and the low beam lights have stopped working. >>> The fog lights still work, as do the full beam.

Simply removing one bulb and looking at it should tell you whether or not its working. If it is, my money is on the DRL setup. I assume you've checked the fuses? > nate Ulf "spunkyjon" wrote: ('93 VW Passat) The low beam lights have stopped working. The fog lights still work, as do the full beam. I believe it uses H4 bulbs.

The problem is more likely to be a defective switch, relay, or fuse. Good luck.
