    I struggled a great deal, but once I got it, it was fairly simply. So when putting it back make sure the relatively long metal piece on the mount is down. Now putting the bulb assembly in you’re not supposed it have it perfectly horizontal in terms of the black plastic tabs. In fact they should be a bit rotated in the counter clock wise direction i.e. to the left when you’re facing the front of the car. Rotate counter clockwise like 30 degrees when inserting in and then rotate clockwise to lock.

    • @zeinnour9587
      @zeinnour9587 2 роки тому +1

      Everybody, read this comment above. I don't know why I assumed that I should insert it with the black tab horizontal, but I spent 45 minutes trying to get it to work before I read this.
      "WHEN YOU PUT THE BULB ASSEMBLY BACK IN, START WITH IT INSERTED SLIGHTLY COUNTER CLOCKWISE, THEN WHEN YOU FEEL IT FALL INTO PLACE ROTATE CLOCKWISE"

      @mightysyng8302 Рік тому

      @@takkadi3116 your clockwise. Basically when you are facing the front of headlight and are putting the bulb in, you rotate it a bit to the left aka counter clockwise and then when it feels in position you simply rotate right aka clockwise to lock. When putting the bulb in you can look into the headlight to better position the bulb as you can see if the tip of the bulb is horizontal and centred.

    • @elijahhassan800
      @elijahhassan800 4 роки тому +4

      The difficulty is the same for both sides. But for demonstration purposes, it is smoother to do the passenger side for right handed individuals. As the driver side requires you to use your left hand more.

    Thank you! Changed my vw in 30 min. The clip at 1:59 was the hardest part. Putting the clip on without touching the bulb was tougher than it sounds. Once I got it on i was done in seconds. Another tip is to look thru the headlight while putting the bulb back in. This video was great. Thank you! 🙏🏾

      Just did this yesterday on my girlfriend's Jetta. My biggest struggle was getting the cover to spin off on the driver side. With the lack of hand room you have. I had a waste cut off of a 2x4 sitting on my work bench. It was a 45 degree angle. So a triangle chunk, that happened to fit perfectly on the cover back plate. I then used a rubber mallet to lightly tap on the wooden block to loosen the lid. After that it was just feeling around with my right hand to get the bulb out.
