The low beams on driver and passenger side have failed 12 times and required me buying new h7 bulbs. They have on 3 occasions went out simultaneously while driving at night on the highway. The rear tail light also randomly turns off, requiring opening and shutting the trunk to get it to come back on or shutting off the car and restarting it to get the taillight back on. This has been occurring since 30k miles, my vehicle now has 135k.
Since 2012 I have had to replace all exterior lights including break and tail lights. My head lights have been replaced at least at 8 times over the past two years or so. Vw claims there is nothing wrong and its my fault because I am not replacing them with their brand and buying them elsewhere.
