What kind of bulb do you use on a 02 Volkswagen Passat?

Answer 1

Although not specified in the question, I'll assume you meant the low beam headlight bulb. If so, it could be one of two types, depending on what was installed at the factory for your particular model. Most of the Passats use the H7 (55 watt) halogen bulb. Others with the HID/Xenon option use the D2SHID (12v35w) bulb. (Just in case you were looking for the high beam bulb, it would be the H7). If your car uses the H7 style bulb, you can get a standard/factory version (they cost about $12-16, depending on where you buy, what brand, etc.) Or you can choose to upgrade to something like a "Cool Blue", or Sylvania Silverstars for a whiter, brighter light. Those run about $25-30 per bulb. In contrast, the D2S high-intensity discharge/xenon bulbs run well over $100 per bulb.
