Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be helping you with your question today. I've been working on VWs for over 30 years now, so I should be able to help you through this. **Also, the site automatically prompts for a phone call. It's very rare that I'm available by phone, so let's hold off on that for now. If needed after we exchange some information, I will do my best to take the time for the call.** Couple of questions 1) do you have a VIN available? There were a couple of different lighting options in these cars 2) when you mention the rear side lights, are you meaning the running light bulbs in the tail lights? Neither are functioning? Did both go out at the same time?

This is the warning and im not sure when the light went out I just purchased this vehicle

One second for the vin
