OVERVIEW
Genuine bolt for the original headlamp mounting point
The N-911-996-01 Genuine VW/Audi bolt secures the assigned mounting connection in the original headlamp assembly on the configurations below. Its M6×40 specification and combination head identify the particular fastener used at this position.
A headlamp assembly uses multiple bolts, retainers and compensating pieces. Match the complete factory number, lamp equipment and original attachment. This listing supplies one bolt rather than a headlamp, bulb, mounting plate or complete hardware kit.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-911-996-01.
- Factory specification: M6 × 40.
- Design: internal-drive combination-head bolt with captive bearing element.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
The correct length and head bearing arrangement reproduce the original mounting geometry. Other headlamp bolts in the same assembly can be shorter or have a different thread design. A matching vehicle model alone does not identify the right attachment.
Common reasons to replace
- The original headlamp bolt is missing after service.
- The drive recess is damaged.
- Threads are damaged or cross-threaded.
- The head or bearing element is distorted.
- An incorrect bolt was fitted during a previous lamp repair.
Inspect the lamp mounting tabs, retainer plate, compensating pieces and receiving threads. A replacement bolt cannot repair a broken housing tab or restore a damaged support. Electrical lamp faults require separate diagnosis.
Vehicle fitment
These verified rows require PR 8BJ halogen headlamps and the original M6×40 mounting position assigned this number. Confirm the installed lamp and retainer before ordering.

Installation guidance
Follow the factory headlamp removal and mounting procedure. Support the lamp, align its retainers and compensating pieces and start the bolt by hand. Tighten to the exact attachment specification without overstressing the housing tabs.
Check lamp security, panel clearances and harness routing. Complete the required headlamp aim and lighting checks after installation. Do not draw a misaligned lamp into position by overtightening its hardware.
Ordering information
