Which kit fits your Volkswagen Passat

Factory interior bulbs are dim, yellow, and burn out one by one. This kit replaces them with LEDs rated for up to 50,000 hours, so you spend less time hunting down replacements. You get a choice of white, yellow, red, or purple light, and the bulbs are designed to be error free without flickering or warning messages. They also draw less power than the original incandescent bulbs.

Installing it

Start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal to avoid blowing a fuse while you work. Use a plastic trim tool to gently pry light housings, never a metal screwdriver that can scratch or short contacts. Test each LED before you snap the lens back in place, since polarity matters and a bulb that does not light usually just needs to be flipped.

1. Pop the lens covers off. They clip in, and they come off with a firm pull. Start at one corner.
2. Pull the old bulb out. Push the new LED in.
3. Turn the light on. If it does not light up, pull it out and flip it 180 degrees. LEDs are polarity sensitive.
4. Work through the remaining locations the same way, then re-seat any loose lens.
