Passat Bend Light Failure

[XXX-1.8T]

Anyone had this error before?

Im guessing one of the cornering bulbs are out?

To change it is it something you can do from behind the headlight like the parkers?

Or is it like changing the Xenon bulb and you have to remove the bumper?

No need to remove the bumper for the cornering lights. They are fairly easy to swap.

Ok thanks :)

Do you know what bulbs to use?

Bend light is the AFS headlights, not the cornering bulbs.
Do your headlamps still 'dance' at startup (swiveling motor calibration)?

I changed the cornering light and seems problem is gone.

Ill check to see if they still dance.

Thanks for the help.

I had this issue in the CC, for some reason the message displayed is bend light for the cornering lamp and dipped beam for the low beams.... I also thought the worst when I initially saw bend light thinking there's a issue with the movement of the motors or something like that, but they both self tested fine with ignition on and both worked which lead me to the cornering bulb.

Now that I think about it I think the error when you have an issue with the swivelling HIDs is 'AFS error'

Correct heard you can fix the AFS error by disabling the test in the MFD option?

I had the error when I had the plugs for the motors swapped in the passenger side headlamp assembly (there are 3 connectors, 2 of which are the same).
