Description of the problem	The wiring inside the headlight assembly has insulation that degrades with the head generated by the low beam/daylight running lights. It becomes brittle and falls off creating bear wire shorting hazard. The light assemblies are such that the wiring cannot be accessed to replace with high temp insulation. Vw only replaces w/ the same entire assembly which does not correct the hazard & costs $800 to replace both assemblies. I caught the defect when replacing a light bulb. This affects more than the tiguan model.
