Title: What bulbs do mk4 style headlights take?
Post by: JackJack on 29 September 2009, 20:34

As the title says really. The high beam and side light doesn't work on the passenger side light. Thanks  :smiley:

Sounds like dodgy wiring tbh

Although most aftermarket lamps take 501 sidelight and H7 main beam iirc

Just switched the bulbs over and it does seem to be the wiring. Is this easily fixed? and best to take it to a specialist in car electronics?
