Always use a replacement bulb of the same type and specification as originally installed in your Volkswagen ID.4. The correct designation is typically printed on the bulb base or glass.

Avoid touching the glass part of the bulb with bare hands. Fingerprints can burn onto the surface when heated, reducing light output and potentially shortening the lifespan of the bulb.

If the light does not work, the bulb may not be seated properly, may have become loose, or the electrical connector may not be securely attached.

11. After replacing any front lighting components in the Volkswagen ID.4, have the headlight alignment checked by a qualified specialist. Volkswagen recommends visiting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or service facility.
