Day-time running light, right-side (passenger side) bulb burned out, however when the bulb socket was removed, the plastic material had signs of heat damage/plastic material damage and the bulb could not be removed from the socket. The socket and bulb will need to be replaced. There was no recall listed for this issue within the NHTSA, however, the heat damage within the bulb socket is a concern. Local VW dealer mentioned that there was no tsb or recall on this electrical part. Socket and bulb replacement cost from the VW dealer is near $40.

When driving my brand new 2015 Jetta tdi sel at night for the first time, 5 days ago, I was unable to see the road almost at all (even at bare minimum) when I engaged my high beams. Upon closer inspection and multiple tries I discovered my low beams would turn off every time I engaged my high beams while driving at night. I almost hit wildlife on the road and swerved to miss it. No crash or injury occurred this time and was lucky. At this time I am unable to use this car unless it is at full daylight. This is an extreme hazard that needs to be corrected. I've been driving for over 25 years and have an excellent driving record. Please correct this so I can use my brand new Jetta without regret and safety hazard.
