Description of the problem	After driving three hours i stopped to get fuel. When i started the car to leave the gas station i saw and heard the directional flasher speed up. I turned off the directional once i exited the station. I then signaled to turn right and the flasher increased flashing speed after 5 seconds. I then received numerous different bulb out messages on the multi function display. I got out and looked and found the right front headlight out as well as numerous amber and red lights on the right side of the car. The directional on the mirror assembly is working then when i parked the car it showed the rear left tail light is out. I confirmed this light is out now. This was night driving and this vehicle had a major electrical failure causing multiple lights including head lamps to be out while driving on the interstate. The vehicle will be scheduled to be serviced and diagnosed shortly at a vw dealer.
