54 reg Touran 1.9TDI (105)

So it started with the left indicator that had stopped working. I took the cover off, looked at the bulb and put it back together. All worked fine again. Shortly after the right side went, But I couldn't get the twisty bit out of the housing unit. After some playing I got it out but the metal bit had snapped off. I ordered a new part from VW and installed with a new headlight but its still not working. I took the headlight unit out to check for any loose wires but it all looks fine. Any ideas? New headlight unit? or something more going on? Indicators are working fine on the mirror and the rear. 

 

To add to that, my airbag light came on this morning. All wires seem ok under the seats. Is there a way to located the problem / check before I pay to have a garage check it? 

 

Thanks in advance. Lee

It sounds like the Airbag light is a coincidence and not related to the lighting fault you have

Check the bulb is not defective (even if new) and then look at any earth points in and around the area of the headlight assembly

Check also it is the correct type of bulb as well
