Bulbs in the Jetta

[ch0p]

Hi Guys,
Would like a big favor from the guys who have the new jetta!, If you can tell me the type of bulbs used for:
Front lights & how many:
DRL & how many:
Rear lights & how many:

Would like to swap out the bulbs since there is no xenon in the new model.

many thanks!

I was quite disappointed when I found out that the new Jetta did not have the xenon options. I'm sure other countries have that option because in the 147TSI, it's got headlamp washers (which is only really needed for Xenon lights).

Some members have got their Jetta already so hopefully they can chime on this. I'm interested as well!

yeah tell me about it, going from the 2009 jetta with xenon , standard headlights are 'dim' and yellow.

Was that an optional add on to your 2009 Jetta? Which model did you have?

Just looking at the Owner's manual:
In front headlight:

- low beam and daytime running light, position light?
- front turn signal
- High beam and side light (parker?)

Rear tail light - in boot - 3 bulbs?
-in body - 2 bulbs?

Not sure this is overly helpful!

Xenons are not available even overseas

Seems like you're right. Had a quick look at the US and UK website and they don't have xenon lights for the Jetta! Strange! It's like a step backwards. What's with the headlamp washers then?!

What bulbs did you get? Are you gonna replace all your bulbs? I'm interested in getting some LEDs for the DRL.

Keep us posted.
