remove the front bumper, take out headlight and replace bulb, or if you got girlie hands you can just about do it with the headlight in place

I have to change mine at some point but can't understand why VW would make you take the bumper off! Yeah it's only 9 bolts and a few clips but still.....

Replaced my side light bulbs yesterday both sides and done it with headlight in place.
I spose being a mechanic you just get used to doing awkward things. TBH i didn't find it very awkward though.
