Volkswagen: 2001 VW Passat Front Turn Signal, halogen bulbs, check fuse


Question
This maybe a stupid question but how do I go about changing the front driver's side turn signal bulb. I changed the high beam halogen bulbs but they were a lot easier to get at. I don't know how to access the turn signal housing to get the bulb out. Thanks

Answer
Hi Bryan,

No stupid question,  after some research here is what I came up with:

Access from behind the light mounting, inside the fender, pull gently on the wiring assembly, bulb will pull out of mounting, turn bulb half turn, look at bulb filament for broken wire. If broken, replace with identical bulb, then replace in mounting. If bulb is NOT broken, check fuse panel for that curcuit, and replace fuse, if burned out.

Let me know how you make out.
