I was driving the vehicle at night when the driver side headlight went out. Took vehicle to Volkswagen dealer to fix problem the next day. The dealer told me the insulation came off the wires inside the driver head light assembly. The 2 exposed wires touched and shorted out the control module. The vehicle had to have a headlight assembly 3c0-941-005-ae and control module 3c8-937-049-ac replaced for the driver side headlight to work.
