Why headlights go out every 3 to 4 months 03 vw beattle?

Check your charging system. Your alternator should put out less than 14.5 volts. Any more and it overcharges the batteries and burns out lights.


How do you change a light bulb on a 2000 VW GTI?

I replaced the tail lights on my friends 2001 jetta a few months ago. You do NOT remove the headlights or tail lights. The bulbs are replaced from the inside of the trunk or beneath the hood for the head lights. I don't have much time to get into details but just take a good look and you'll realize what you have to do. Real simple procedure! Good luck.

Why do running lights and taillights remain on when headlights are turned off on 93 Buick Lesabre?

I had this problem with my 1994 Buick LeSabre and it no longer happened when I installed a new battery. It's been at least 6 months now with no recurrence of the problem. Before the new battery, I noticed that if I waited about 5 minutes after turning off the car, I could get the lights to turn off. Seemed like something had to cool down.

Why do the day time running lights on a 2006 Ford Focus wagon not go out when you activate the parking brake?

I have driven Ford Tempo and Topaz and the DRL always went out when I applied the parking brake. It was many months after buying a 06 Focus that I noticed the DRL stayed on any time the ignition was on, regardless of the position of the parking brake. When I studied the owners manual I found that the DRL are only to be on when the parking brake is released. Asked the dealer to correct and was told it can't be done. Made several call the Ford Motor Company and was told the operators manual was correct and the DRL should go out. Talked to several dealers and they said no. Finally got a hold of a wiring diagram and found the lights are wired to stay on. Which is correct? The Operators Manual or the wiring diagram. Ford Motor Company refused to discuss it with me anymore.
