VW Golf (Mk6) headlight bulbs
Model years: 2008 - 2013
Clearly, headlights operation without failure should be carefully maintained. Therefore, it's crucial to change defective bulb as soon as defect has been recognized. In newer cars, a warning light in a dashboard will alert driver in the matter of headlamp bulb failure. It's a convenient way to check how headlights function. However, older vehicles do not have this feature, thus, drivers are forced to step off the vehicle and verify if lamps are fine from the outside. As a matter of fact, front lamp bulb replacement does not require special automotive knowledge. After all, disclosure of a headlight bulb might differ on individual car models.
The life-time of a bulb is limited. Sooner or later, it will burn out and will have to be replaced. Bulbs, made of high quality materials, tend to last longer. It's recommended to use well known brand replacement bulbs.
If bulb burns out right after installation, your vehicle might have a problem inside electrical system - have it checked by auto electrician.
Tip: Never touch glass housing of a halogen bulb with your fingers. Greasy spots might cause premature failure of the bulb. Handle the bulb by its base or use a piece of clean paper when installing.
