Before you start replacing the bulbs, disconnect the corresponding circuit. Do not touch the glass of the new bulb with your fingers. Fingerprints left on it evaporate when the bulb heats up, the vapors settle on the surface of the reflector, causing it to become dim. Always use bulbs of the same type. The marking is on the bulb itself. It is recommended to have a box of spare bulbs, which can be purchased from any Volkswagen dealer. The box should contain at least the following bulbs, which are important for your safety on the road:

12V/70/50W - Headlight
12V/21/5W - Front Turn Signal and Front Parking Light
12V/3W - Clearance Light
12V/21W - Rear Turn Signal, Brake Light
12V/5W - Central brake light, number plate light
12V/10W - Tail Light
