Description of the problem	Recently my 2011 jetta sportwagen's exterior light dashboard indicator came on. Upon investigation i found that the passenger side exterior front and rear lights were not working. Intermittently over the next few days they would work and then fail again without any reason. I took the car to the dealer and was told i had one bulb out and that there was nothing wrong with the car. And that they had never ever heard of this issue in any volkswagen. The same day the lights failed again. I investigated this time myself and found multiple complaints about the f16 fuse. My f16 fuse was visibly burnt and the fuse box was melted at the f16 spot. A new fuse has temporarily fixed the problem, but i am concerned about a safety issue if this is melting the fuse box and my lights could fail at a critical time.
