I had the same problem with my 2000 Passat. According to my mechanic (an excellent independent), the vent cover over the bulbs is not removable without breaking it out. So you may need to buy a new bulb and a new vent cover ($100+).

To replace the oil pan gasket on a 2001 Volkswagen Passat turbo the exhaust downpipe must be removed. The oil needs to be drained and all the pan bolts need to be removed as well. When replacing the gasket a sealer should be used to ensure a proper seal.
