    Excellent video. Boy did I have a rough go of it when trying to line up and engage the locking mechanism.

    A mechanic told me $200. to change not upgrade my 2005 VW Beetle headlights. I said I might be a 70 year old lady, but I''m not stupid enough to allow you to rip me off. Thanks for this Video.

    I found the LEDs to be a PITA - take housing out, swap over, put housing back in, realise bulb is wrong way, take housing out, swap around, put housing back in, repeat on other side lol ... Had some decent ones in mine, but they all seem to fail after a short while and start flickering/die completely. Got some xenon style osrams in now to go with my MTEC cosmos blue H1s and it gives a nice HID look to it. Not the best light output, but I just can't stand yellow in bulbs lol

      Yes a year or so on I've given up on LEDs too 😂😂 exactly the same experience, I like the nightbreaker lights I prefer to see where I'm going as I live in the countryside 👌 buy yeah totally ditched LEDs for now

      😂😂 I currently have a MK4 Golf the stock lights on that are pretty darn good, I've learnt to embrace the retro yellow hue 😂😎

    Question , can the main headlight bulbs be changed without changing the side lights , or must I change them both .
    Great vid and 1st class info , thanks .

      You can change them separately it doesn't make a difference

    This surprised me, it was so easy . A lot of manufactures make changing bulbs a nightmare on their cars it seems. Not VW , in this application anyway 👍

      @meatmanifesto  4 роки тому +1

      Totally, on Golfs it's even easier. VW do design most things so well making it easy to carry out repairs

    Hi mate, i cant get into the one on the battery side, can you let me know if its a battery out job, mine is an 06 plate UK 1.8 T. Be much appreciated if you could advise, thanks

      Taking the battery out definitely makes life a lot easier and you can see what you're doing.
