Need help, front left sidelight not working
« on: March 14, 2014, 10:08:55 pm »
Hi everyone I'm a newbie so please  go easy

I've got a candy white gti with bi xenon headlamps but the front left parkig light is not working, any ideas what may be causing it? The previous owner said it may be the switch causing it but wouldn't that cause the right side to not work aswell?

Have you changed the bulb. I know it sounds obvious but its often overlooked.

I've taken to vw who put a new bulb in it still didn't work, and I wasn't prepared to pay their £75 investigation fee which I think is extortionate
