VW GTI Headlight bulb replacement - NO TOOLS NEEDED!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- At first I thought I needed a rocket science degree to change out these bulbs.
I thought for sure I needed to remove them but there is a hidden bolt probably in the fender well you have to get to to remove them. Well turns out you can reach your fat hands into the little area to pop them out. Both rotate counter clockwise to remove and clock wise to lock back in. No wires or anything to remove or unplug. Good Luck . Look for more VW stuff as I get ready to dump some cash into this little rocket.

followed your method to a T. Worked great and you can watch via the outside of the headlight. I recommend eyeing up the socket before you send it, cause i spent some time fishing around before i realized where to actually aim.
Took my car to the dealership to get my headlight changed. Costs $64. 2 weeks later my passenger bulb went out. You just saved me a headache. I owe you a beer. Thank you!!!
Glad it helped
This is late but the dealer here in DC is so corrupt he told me there was a fuse box in the way on the passenger side and they had to take the bumper off .. for 350.00
I knew this wasn’t true Caz I already changed them before
Got quoted $240 in Rochester ny just the bulb
Thanks so much! I was driving around with 1 headlight, dreading the bulb change.
Currently going through the same thing lol
Glad it helped
totally did this with no tools. it’s a little wonky because of the lack of space but a total time/money saver. good looks on the vid bro 🙌🏾
Glad it helped!
Access from the BOTTOM is much easier! With the wheel turned toward the engine, use a T25 to remove 3 screws holding the wheel well liner, pull back the liner carefully, and you're there.
I have another one out and I will try that today.
Haha I just saw your comment after I replaced the left bulb. I tore the back of my hand up pretty good before I got it in there.
I am getting good at it now as they keep going out after 3 months. I put in a new right side bulb in 30 seconds with no tools.
thank you so much bro
My passenger side headlight just went out tonight. Thanks for the quick tutorial. Good looking!
And like you, can’t just do the one😅 VWOCD
Glad it helped. I just had one of my replacements go out already.
I was getting my tools out but decided to watch this video first! Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Wish I had a GTI to have this issue. Fun little car.
There’s one for you out there somewhere. Visualize my friend😉
It is a fun little car. Especially with the 6 speed manual. It is my daily so I enjoy the 28-30 mpg too compared to my truck at 10 and Jeep at 15.
I am also watching this in anticipation of owning one.
Watched it . Then realized after my bulb fell into the frame that it’s a 1000 times easier to just go from the wheel side of behind the bumper . A lot room , easy access.
I will have to ty that next time. Turns out my socket was bad and was causing the bulbs to only last a few months. Switch to LED that has a built in socket and problem has gone away.
Oof. Glad you figured it out. I had something similar this weekend trying to boost the rpms on my pushmower. Wasted my time messing with a nut on the governor so that the engine ran wide open which is NOT what I was aiming for 🤯🤯 Only to realize later ( after some research ) that I'd allowed the governor regulation tab to slip out of adjustment inside the engine, rendering the mower unusable. Fixed it yesterday, then adjusted the governor spring tab underneath the gas tank to achieve my original objective 😂 Lost half a day of work for a 5 second adjustment 🤷♂️
Story of my life.
You saved me a headache thank you 🙏
You are welcome thank you.
this 100% worked, thanks mate! saved me from taking all those bolts off
Glad it helped
i wish mines was that easy
Much easier going in through the wheel arch. Three screws to take off the plastic cover then peel it back to access the bulb - easy! This method is no good if you have large hands as you'll be ripping the skin off them as you do it!
I'll have to try that next time.
I tried going through the top, that’s the wrong answer. Going through the wheel arch was way easier. Only need a T25.
Bro with my ogre hands I can’t fit in there to change it. I guess I’ll go through wheel arch. Thanks for the advice
58 year old mom and I did it myself. I have small hands. 🎉
I need to borrow you right now
What about the other bulb, the one on the left, how do u change that one?
same way. I just did them again with LED bulbs and holy cow they are bright and match the fogs in color.
Have had to do this a couple of times… always near impossible to get my hand in there.
Yes tight fit. Need kid hands.
The fog lights are LED. That is why they are so much whiter.
ya the halogens are the easy ones, its the bixenon ones that you have to remove damn near the whole front end, which im looking for right now..
Good luck.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
That’s not a golf gti headlight
Do i need to buy adapter clip if i buy LED bulb for my mk6 GTI?
not sure. Let me know LED sounds nice. I have had to replace these already.
Why not led bulb? It would clean up the look and light the road better
I would like to go LED but will probably need to order them from somewhere as the off the shelf LED bulbs do not work with the VW headlight as there is no "PLUG" . The bulb goes into a plastic handle and twists into place simultaneously making electrical connections.
You get the shit lights in the USA
I am sure HID's are optional but I bought this used.
Bruh....what year is you GTI?
2016 mk7
Tools was needed day ruined.
I have done it a few times since this again with no tools. What tools did you need? I got it down to about 1 minute flat. turned out I had a bad socket was shorting out the blub.
