SOURCE: 2005 VW Jetta TDI Wagon: Left brake light doesn't

Very difficult. You have to open the inside access door on the drivers side, remove the amp and wheel well cover, pinch the tabs and the bulb cluster will release. The taillight assembly is bolted from inside of the car, so it can't be done outside.

SOURCE: I cannot even see how

On your 2006 Jetta there is a hinged "door" inside the trunk to allow access to the tail light assembly.

There are 2 black plastic tabs at the bottom of the assembly that you push up on and the whole assembly comes out. Note that this assembly is reinserted by putting the 2 small tabs at the top of the assembly back into the fixture first then rotating the bottom half down until it snaps into place. There are 2 bulbs (same part number) that are both the turn signal and brake light (both lights on for brake). Phillips P/N 12498 (21watt). Sylvania P/N 7506 (LL). They are $3.80 each at dealer.

Potential foundations for light issues in 2012 VW Jetta TDI: really look at wires, assess bulbs, wiring issues, flawed light/dimmer switches, control module, or battery. Counsel a repairman for precise finding and fixes.

2012 VW Beetle, tag lights went out, replaced bulb, checked fuse, now the climate controls and gear shift are out as well..HELP

The first thing I thought is, you may have put the wrong bulb in and blew a fuse, it may not be in the main fusebox, look for other fuse boxes some cars have multiple.

If both my regular headlight bulb and high beam head light bulb on a 2009 VW Jetta are both burned out and I only replace the regular bulb and not the high beam, should the regular highlight bulb stil

no --there are two separate light power systems for the bulbs but a shared earth wire. Bulbs blow from power fluctuations that occur from loose earth wires, dirty earth points so check the way the bulbs are put back in and ensure that they are tight.
