Headlights Turn Off While Driving Problems of Volkswagen Jetta

Low beam headlights both went out and refuse to turn on. Bulbs and fuses are fine as well as the brights work just fine. The problem started this morning as I went to leave for work.

After replacing three right side headlight bulbs in my 20k miles of ownership, last week both headlights went out at the same time while driving down the highway. I heard a strange noise as if a relay was continuously being triggered. I have heard lots of strange relay sounds(chatter) from beneath the dash of this vehicle. I checked fuses; though Volkswagen does not provide or publicly publish fuse box diagrams, I was able to confirm continuity on each fuse. My next step was to change the headlight bulbs so as usual I bout the top of the line bulb for the car, this didn't change a thing. I brought the car into a Volkswagen dealer who claims the bulbs just burnt out at the same time because I was using "aftermarket bulbs". In other words, I would have to bring my car into the dealer to replace simple electrical components such as bulbs and fuses. As an electronics specialist working in research and design I find the rate at which the bulbs are failing to be both alarming and indicative of a problem some where else in light power circuit (relays, shorts, tolerances) . It seems like many other vw Jetta owners for 2011-2014 are having this issue. I am very unhappy with the fact that I have to bring my car in to a shop to have headlights replaced. While at the same time vw publishes no information for the vehicle owner to troubleshoot these issues on their own. Kinda seems wrong, maybe illegal.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta.

Headlights stopped working on dim. Then tailights went out. We've had the car 2 1/2 years and this is second time the headlights have went out like this. When the headlights went out, the bluetooth also wasn't working the way it had previously. Also, the windows will sometimes not respond properly. They will go the opposite way that I am directing it to do. (push for up and it goes down, for example). These incidences happen both when vehicle is moving and stationary.

First noticed the rear passenger backup light not working. 1 stop and a few minutes later the passenger headlight went out. After returning home 15 minutes later the entire passenger side except the taillight was out. After searching on the internet fuse f16 has a known issue of melting both the fuse and the fuse box. Sure enough after removing and inspecting, the passenger side of the fuse has begun to melt and the female fuse terminals and plastic fuse box around the connection have all started to melt. Turning the fuse around has gotten the lights working again for tonight, but will likely need to replace the entire fuse box as a permanent fix.

The contact owns a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving approximately 50 mph, the headlights and brake lights failed to illuminate. The vehicle was towed to the contact¿s residence. The contact diagnosed that a fuse melted and damaged the fuse box. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v569000 (electrical system, exterior lighting). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
