For all those asking, these are a 'P21W' or '382' bulb. I replaced mine with some LEDs from Halfords (UK) and although these do not cause CAN bus errors it seems they are no longer available. This is a shame as they were expensive at £20 a pair but had a 3 year warranty. It is my understanding that these were made by Ring. Hope this helps in some way...
Useful thanks. On my Alltrack I found it easier to loosen the trim off from the outer side, then pull it directly forward. Note for others, the screw heads are torx with a slot. Use either a flat blade screwdriver or a couple of different torx drivers, preferably magnetic.
Thanks for the vid, I'm my case I started from inside of the trim by pulling those "wings" (that are bending in the vid) with my finger. Push wing inside with your finger and pull out trim with other hand, one wing and the other. Very easy and no tools required. Same when putting back, I started from putting inner side first. Hope it will help.
Just to mention,you can do the whole job with just patience,care, and 10mm wide straight blade screwdriver...VW were clever enough to put a slot across the t25 torx screw heads!!
This is a non-bulb related issue - can the two chrome pieces on the DLR grill be detached? I'm going to check this with my Passat but maybe you can answer me before then. Useful video btw!
Could you tell me the name of Led model or a link to buy it. I've tried several versions of Led from aliexpress, but all of them have errors. Thank you
very weird, as soon as I start the engine, there's an error appearing, but after I turn lights off so drl turn on it all disappear and after it doesn't come back.
@David Shields its because the LEDs are non-canbus. This means that they give out an error as if they were faulty. Next time buy LEDs with CANBUS compatibility or "error free".
@@Wello789 Or just ignore the bum light error. I've had one for years... because of a perfectly ordinary, non LED light (OEM) in the trunk. It's still on, but the car can't figure that out.
I don't suppose anyone knows the part number for the screw that you first take off which helps retain the grill? Mine is missing on one side of the vehicle
Drive to your local VW dealership and head over to parts with the screw from your other side. They'll know what it is and theyll only be a dollar or two
Yeah.. one of the reasons I'll never buy VW again. They made the simplest things - such as replacing a bad headlamp assembly or this DRL - so damn complicated you need a body shop just to change a light bulb.
@@MrWoods0_0 They are? The 1.8 turbo was *plagued* with problems, primarily the AC system and timing belt over-tensioning. They've ironed much of those out with the newer 2.0 turbos, however. OFC, now the rear lights and camera have all gone out, the radio hard-resets randomly, and the shift points are a little... strange.
Hallo, ... man,.... wenn du schon mit dem Handy filmen mußt weil du keine Kamera hast dann filme bitte quer und nicht hochkant. Wenn du die Kamera quer einstellst sieht man viel mehr.
Yes.. putting back the fog light grill is one hell of a task. Useful vid. Thank you

You will need resistors to get the error message on screen to disappear and also to stop the hyper flash.
much appreciated
Спасибо !
Tested, correct solution to disassemble, thanks 👍
Thanks, saved breaking the grills
Thanks - very useful - unlike the producer's description in the manual...

Amzar Nacht nope this is wrong. The task took about 5 minutes and the plastic cladding was easy on and off
