I'm considering this LED tail lights, but don't want to deal with bulb out issues.
s/no/yes.No. Recommend you read through both of these LED tail light threads and review how you want to proceed. Installing LED tails is not plug and play. You can install resistors to fool the BOW sensing circuits, or you can run new wires and get into coding Byte 18 and maintain full functionality, use no resistors and not worry about BOW's.
There are all sorts of issues with getting LED tail lights to work correctly on a stock US Passat without throwing a lamp out error. You either need to rewire you BCM and change the coding (as vw_norm has done) or use resistors and other methods (additional wiring, trailer light controller, etc., as Jason and I have done) to make them operate correctly and keep the lamp monitor happy.
