My 01 had only one headlight bulb burn out in 5 years, but I have heard many NB owners complain of freaquent failures. The biggest issue associated with this is the complex process you have to go through to replace a headlight bulb on the NB (though once you do once, it's really no big deal.
I agree with jackfrost though. You don't have to use german made or expensive bulbs in your NB. Just keep an extra on hand and don't exceed the wattage specified by VW. Some blame the extra heat generated by higher wattage bulbs for premature failure.
