Catalog bulb positions and codes for the 2008 Volkswagen GTI. Confirm against your owner’s manual before buying.

Fitment notes

The 2008 Volkswagen GTI uses a D2S bulb for the low-beam headlight. No high-beam bulb fitment is listed in the supplied data, so verify the original headlamp assembly before ordering a replacement.

Front turn signal fitment depends on the headlight configuration: models with halogen headlights use 1156A, while models with HID headlights use 64136. This distinction is important when selecting front signal bulbs.

  • Rear turn signal: 7506
  • Center stop light: LED
  • License plate light: 6418

Interior locations also vary by application. Dome and trunk lights are listed as 6411 or 6428, while courtesy lighting may use 2825/98 or 6418; compare the existing bulb where noted.
