The plastic locking tab fractures over time, allowing the socket to work loose from the bulb base and cause an intermittent or permanent lighting failure. Corrosion of the 2.8mm terminals inside the socket causes high resistance, which reduces bulb brightness and can cause the bulb to overheat. Replacing the socket is a quick repair that restores full lighting performance without replacing the entire headlight or fog light assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOEM Part Number Cross-Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOEM Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3D0941165A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVW\/Audi 2-pin 2.8mm bulb socket (HB3\/9005 and fog light)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3D0 941 165A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSame part, alternate formatting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBulb Type Cross-Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBulb Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHB3 \/ 9005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-beam headlight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFog light (H3 \/ H7 \/ H11 variants)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront fog light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePin Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-Pin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.8mm pitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNylon, black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSealing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Bulb Types\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHB3 \/ 9005, fog light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3D0941165A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-beam headlight socket, fog light socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTerminal Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolkswagen Passat \/ Phaeton \/ Touareg\u003c\/strong\u003e – HB3 high-beam and fog light socket (OEM 3D0941165A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudi A4 \/ A6 \/ Q7\u003c\/strong\u003e – HB3\/9005 high-beam bulb socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkoda Superb \/ Octavia\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fog light and high-beam socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal HB3\/9005 applications\u003c\/strong\u003e – Any vehicle using a 2-pin 2.8mm HB3 or 9005 bulb socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: My VW Passat high-beam is not working — could it be the socket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.
