as others said - best tutorial out there, i just changed my dipped beam bulb and thanks to this video it went smoothly, thanks for taking your time and making this

[@wawayltd]

You're welcome 👍

[@sirfer6969]

@@wawayltd....same here, except the small side light or parking light as we call it in NZ. VW make cars so hard for the casual maintainer to fix and repair, but thanks to videos like this we can do it.
Thanks to this video it cost me $8 to get my Road worthiness cert (WOF in NZ), thanks a million, chief =)

[@wawayltd]

Glad if it helps even in NZ 😎👍

Many thanks. My "Side light" went and had no idea what bulb i needed until I cam across your video.
Keep up the great work.

That's alright. Spring is not too far. 😉

[@DTrain4711]

Thank You very much! After first trying myself and then searching the complete internet including ChatGPT to replace the H7 Light on my Golf IV, i found your video. And yours is simply the only real Golf IV Frontlight bulb replecement video, because it shows the complete process an the details behind! Whithout it I could never have changed the bulbs by myself. Thank You a thousend times 🙂

Thank you for this guide. I had to remove the battery to make room for my fat fingers to replace the H1 (high beam) and H7 (low beam) bulbs on the drivers side. 👍
I found the little plugs on the H1 bulbs to be somewhat troublesome to fit back on to the pins they were connected to. H7's were super easy though.

I have xenon lights (main) on golf IV, and I want to change my side lights, does it matter if they're xenon or usual?

[@wawayltd]

Xenon bulbs normally take more space. Personally, I didn't have to deal with them, but I believe you would need to take your main beam xenon bulb out to get access to side bulb.

The ones I got from ebay look just like yours inside but are missing the light socket twisty thing @4:10, the ones from my OEM lights don't fit and have a bulb with a rectangle connector 3457AK. Where can I get this part so I can install my new headlights?

Sorry Anthony, I don't have that car for about 4 years. TPS sell original VW parts. You can try to search Internet (like Autodoc).
But I don't think I can do it better than you.

Does keys need to be in car or car need to be locked while we changing lights

[@wawayltd]

It doesn't really matter. Just make sure that there is no voltage going to headlight. Switch it off, and, probably, best to take key out of ignition.

[@5bananas1]

what should you do if the high beam indicator stays on and you press the indicator stalk either way and nothing happens? all the other lights work on both sides.

[@wawayltd]

Wow. Never heard of this problem. Don't even know how to help... Maybe some faulty stuck switch?
