problem #1

May 261999

Jetta GL 2.0L

  • Manual transmission
  • 9,500 miles

This is an ongoing issue. Headlights are too dim, replaced with higher wattage bulbs the first time, fried the wiring (thank goodness it was just the extension wiring harness from the bulb manufacturer). Now, I am afraid to use anything that was as bright as the bulbs that fried the wiring. So I just deal with it.

Very hard to see at night. Any suggestions?
