Exterior Lights - Volkswagen Passat 2006 Service Training

Onboard Power Supply

Exterior Lights

Front headlights
Design
The shape of the headlights is no longer the classic double round design. "Large eyes" are formed by
tubes around the dipped beam lights.
The large square full-beam reflector improves the full-beam performance considerably compared with
the Passat 1997.
H7 headlights
The basic headlights use halogen technology. H7
lights are used for both the dipped and
full-beam lights.
A voltage stabilising system used by the onboard
power supply control unit increases the life of the
bulbs.
Xenon headlights
The Passat 2006 can be ordered with
optional Bi-Xenon headlights with cornering light
function.
Xenon headlights are run with high-voltages of several 10,000 volts. Contact with this voltage
can be fatal.
Therefore make sure you follow the safety guidelines given in the ELSA
electronic service information system.
