that resulted in burned fingers. I'm reasonably sure that the 2 prongs on the LED didn't touch.
should have asked before, do I want the key in the ignition or on position or not?
I'll grab a battery for my meter tonight and report back with more tomorrow.

It started raining here about an hour ago and projected to go overnight. I'll post an update tomorrow. It seems that I'm getting power to the headlight enclosure (based off my singed fingers and blown LED) from the car which means enclosure or the next thing in line.

11.8 at the plug to the headlight housing.

In looking for parts I've found there's an additional harness, what does this one attach to and can I remove it without removing the entire housing?

Yes, is there a way to replace that or do I need to replace the entire headlight?
I know that some people have repaired wiring breaks in housing but its not easy. I have not seen any wiring for inside the housing available from VW. I did see this company sell some of the wiring but I have no idea about them. http://www.oemxenonshop.com/Volkswa...riginal-Ballast-Bulb-Igniter-Replacement.html
So I take it you found the problem?

The only question I have left is should I be getting a reading on my meter at the plug where the igniter gets plugged in? If the answer is yes, I'll double check tomorrow for it then have to figure if power goes to the ballast first or straight to the bulb.

My guess would be power, ground, and data to know when to turn on and off (e-brake, switch). I suppose I could pop the ignitor off the driver side and see if I can get a reading there.
