One problem related to headlights turn off while driving has been reported for the 2008 Volkswagen R32. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Both headlights failed. Headlight wiring is deteriorated. Wire insulation is brittle, cracked and separated, leaving the wiring exposed causing electrical shortages, bulb and ballast failure. Local Volkswagen dealer performed diagnoses during the 60000 mile maintenance upon my request. "found internal headlight wire harness's in both headlights coming apart (deteriorated), estimate to replace both headlights assemblies and reprogram lighting system $1,517. 00. May also need bulbs ($168. 00 each plus tax) and also may need igniters ($272. 08 each plus tax) tech can not make the determination until headlight assemblies are replaced. ".
