Volkswagen has shown the world German manufacturing quality with dozens of popular nameplates over the years. The Volkswagen Jetta is one of those and it has been one of the favorite VWs of a lot of people. This compact sedan was designed to be just above the long-time successful Golf model. The name is believed to be derived from the Atlantic “jet stream,” although VW has not confirmed this.
The Volkswagen Jetta, like any other car in the market, experiences mechanical and electrical issues. Among the many problems it is known for is the failure of electrical components, such as the headlights. In fact, there have been recalls in the past due to failing headlights. Because of this, Volkswagen Jetta headlight assemblies became some of the most sought-after replacement parts among owners.
What causes a headlight to fail?
Headlights are important because they help you to clearly see the road at night. Driving at night and in poorly lit areas requires clear vision of the road, which is why it would be difficult and unsafe if one of your headlights fail. You may also face legal charges depending on the state you’re in.
There are a couple of reasons why headlights prematurely fail. The causes are often minor and easy to fix, such as burned out bulbs. Below are some of the minor causes of a failing VW Jetta headlight.
Bad headlight switch
One usual cause of a failing headlight is a faulty headlight switch. Unlike most cars that have levers behind the steering wheel acting as the headlight switch, the Volkswagen Jetta features a rotating dial that operates the headlamps. This can fail in some cases and can prevent your headlight from switching on and adjusting to other modes. This may make you think that your headlights are unresponsive even though they should be running well.
Faulty fuse
Another common culprit of unresponsive headlights is a blown fuse, which cuts the supply of electric current from the battery to the headlights. A fuse blows due to several reasons, but one of the common causes is a short circuit. A short can happen if there are open wires or if you’re using the wrong wattage of bulbs.
Short circuit
As mentioned, a short can cause your fuse to blow. The wire can come in contact with hot components, which melts its insulation and exposes the metal wire. If the wire is near a metal part, the electricity can jump and cause a short circuit. You’re also at risk of damaging your bulbs if there’s a short circuit in your system.
Burned-out bulb
Burned-out bulbs cause your headlights to flicker, dim, or die from time to time. This could be hazardous especially at night, as you won’t know when the headlights will go on and off. Replace a faulty headlight bulb as soon as possible or upgrade by opting for an LED or HID replacement.
When to replace the headlights on your Volkswagen Jetta
The problems mentioned above will not cause you to replace the whole headlight assembly. However, if the damage involves a broken lens, housing, or mount, it would be smarter to buy your Volkswagen Jetta a headlight replacement. Cosmetic upgrades are also a good reason for replacing the entire headlight assembly. Aftermarket Volkswagen Jetta headlights, aside from being great copies of the OEM ones, also feature varying designs and color finishes.
Finding the right fit
OE Volkswagen Jetta headlight replacements on CarParts.com are priced anywhere between $20 and $460. The headlight designs vary depending on the model year. To get the right fit, input your vehicle’s year, make, and model in our vehicle selector. This can make your search easier and less time consuming if you’re looking for a specific part, such as a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta headlight. You can buy a replacement in single pieces or as a pair.
