The headlights in your Volkswagen Jetta are designed to provide you with the best visibility, while also contributing to your model’s stylish appearance. Unfortunately, there might be a time when one or both headlights have suddenly stopped working, therefore putting your safety at risk. This occurrence is likely caused by an electrical problem or a physical issue with the bulbs themselves. In order to get to the bottom of the situation as quickly as possible, you should take note of exactly what type of failure you have experienced.
Based on which bulbs have stopped working, and under what circumstances, the team at our VW service center near Glendale encourages you to use the following information to find a solution:
1. One headlight doesn’t work
- The cause: Likely a burned out bulb.
- The fix: Replace the bulb. If it still doesn’t work, suspect a wiring or fuse problem.
2. Neither of the headlights work
- The cause: Burned out bulbs, or an issue with power or ground.
- The fix: Check for power and ground, and fix if necessary. Otherwise, replace the bulbs.
3. High beam headlights don’t work or low beams don’t work
- The cause: A burned out bulb, or a problem with the high beam switch or relay.
- The fix: Replace the bulb, switch, or relay.
4. Headlights work but seem dim
- The cause: Foggy lenses, worn out bulbs, or a charging system issue.
- The fix: Clean the lenses, replace the bulbs, or repair the charging system.
Other headlight problems can also be caused by a combination of bad bulbs, wiring or relay problems, and bad switches.
