This 2006 Volkswagen Passat bulb guide helps you verify the correct bulb size by lighting position, so you can match the right replacement before you buy. Because trim and lighting equipment can vary, it is especially useful when you want to confirm the exact bulb for a specific exterior or interior location on your Passat.
Use this page to check common fitments for the 2006 Volkswagen Passat, including headlights, brake lights, tail lights, turn signals, parking lights, reverse lights, and cabin bulbs. Matching the bulb to the correct spot is the easiest way to avoid ordering the wrong part and to keep your car’s lighting working as intended.
Fitment can differ by market, body style, and lighting package, so always compare the bulb listed here with the one already installed in your Passat. Some positions may use LED assemblies, while others use standard replaceable bulbs, and aftermarket LED conversions can change size, beam pattern, or warning behavior. If you are replacing a halogen bulb with an LED upgrade, make sure the bulb base, connector, and housing clearance all match. Before purchasing, it is smart to remove the old bulb and confirm the marking on the glass or base, especially for interior lights and exterior signal bulbs where trim differences are common.
It helps you verify bulb sizes by lighting position, such as low beam, brake light, tail light, reverse light, dome light, and license plate light. That makes it easier to choose the correct replacement for the exact lamp location on your Passat.
The low beam headlight bulb listed for this page is D1S. Always confirm your vehicle’s existing setup, since lighting equipment can vary by trim or market.
The front turn signal light bulb is listed as 64136. Check the installed bulb before ordering if your car has had prior lighting changes or aftermarket parts.
The rear turn signal light bulb is listed as LED on this page. Because rear lamp designs can vary, it is best to compare the installed unit with the bulb or module already in the car.
Both the brake light bulb and tail light bulb are listed as LED. This means the replacement may be part of an LED lighting assembly rather than a simple plug-in incandescent bulb.
Both the parking light bulb and front side marker light bulb are listed as 2827. These are common exterior bulbs, but you should still verify the socket and housing before buying.
The back up reverse light bulb is listed as 7506. If your car has been modified or fitted with a different lamp housing, confirm the base style before replacing it.
The license plate light bulb is listed as 6418. The same bulb number is also used for several interior and cargo-area positions on this page.
The map light bulb and interior door light bulb are listed as 2825, 98. The courtesy light bulb option 2 is also listed as 2825, 98, which can help when matching a similar interior lamp position.
The dome light bulb is listed as 6411, 6428. The glove box light bulb and stepwell light bulb are both listed as 2821, and the courtesy light option 1 is also listed as 2821.
Yes. Courtesy light option 1 is listed as 2821, option 2 is listed as 2825, 98, and option 3 is listed as 6418. That is why checking the exact lamp location matters on the 2006 Volkswagen Passat.
Both the vanity mirror light bulb and trunk or cargo area light are listed as 6418. The door mirror illumination light bulb is listed separately as 2886X.
Because trim and lighting package can vary by market and body style, the installed bulb is the best confirmation of fit. Checking the old bulb helps avoid mismatches, especially when choosing between standard bulbs and LED replacements.
