0DD141049A Volkswagen Lock ring

This little ring actually holds everything together – specifically, it secures the various components inside your headlight assembly. Think of it as a retaining clip, keeping the bulb, reflector, and other bits from shifting around. It’s usually a metal or plastic ring that clips or screws into place. It can also be used to hold wiring harnesses securely, and in some cases, even help with moisture sealing. It's part of the headlight, so obviously it's up front. But it’s not something you directly see when looking at the headlight itself. It’s inside the housing. It's often related to bulb replacement, but isn't the bulb itself. It’s what keeps things aligned and stable, ensuring your beam is focused properly. Sometimes you’ll find similar lock rings used on other electrical components, like some alternator or starter parts, but the headlight is the most common place. Well, if it fails, you’ll notice if your headlight beam is flickering, dim, or just generally not right. A loose or missing lock ring can cause the bulb to move around, affecting the beam pattern and potentially causing the bulb to fail prematurely. It also acts like a shield, protecting the internal components from vibration and the elements. If it’s broken, moisture can get in, and that’s just a recipe for more problems down the line. They’re pretty inexpensive parts, honestly. You can find a replacement easily enough – we carry them at Fixparts Online, but most auto parts stores will have them in stock. It’s usually a simple fix, but it's important to get it sorted out quickly to keep you safe on the road. Volkswagen quality assured: Lock Ring (MPN 0DD141049A) includes a 12-month warranty!
