Common fault mate unfortunately, the culprit is your headlight switch so buy a new one from VW Heritage and contact Funkstar for your loom, pretty easy to get hold of really.

Good luck.  :wink:

more likely the wire that goes to heater control panel bulb has shorted out burning the wire and switch out.
