Post by: new to vw on 25 November 2010, 16:35

Is there an easy way of changing these or is it a bumper and headlight out job :sad: :sad:

i managed to change all my bulbs without removing the lights.
you'll end up woth very scratched bleeding hands thou!!!

also to get the side light bulbs you need angled long nose needle pliyers but grip the housing gently not to break the clips....or youll have to wedge the bulbs back in as i found out on one!!!

The bumper comes off so easy there is no point scratching your hands up.
