This 2008 Volkswagen GTI bulb size guide helps you verify the correct bulbs by lighting position, so you can replace a failed lamp without guessing. Whether you are changing a small interior bulb or an exterior signal light, matching the bulb to the right location is the easiest way to avoid fitment mistakes.
The 2008 GTI uses different bulb types depending on the light assembly and equipment level. Some positions are shared across trims, while others can vary by market, body style, or headlight package.
