We bought this car for my 17 year old daughter. The lights are so bad that it is a danger driving at night. We took it back to the dealer who replaced the regular lights with led lights, slight better but still dangerous. After researching we found that this is a defect and the are many complaints. We took it to the vw dealer who confirmed this is an issue with this car and there is not much we can do about it but replace the entire lighting system which would be very costly. I am worried about my teenage daughter driving this car at night.
Low beams on both sides constantly fail. Have replaced bulbs with many different brands. Failure occurs around every 6 months, go figure. Mechanic stated to replace housing unit would cost between $600 to $800.
