Title: why is it all mk4 bulb replacements are crap to do?
Post by: davemk4 on 31 May 2013, 20:43

I mean come on vw bumper and head light removel to fit a tight as fook sidelight bulb.

I broke the interior ultrasonic and was pointless as once you get it out you have to remove the pcb to get to the bulb!

The 501 leds i bought for inner map lights dont work either way round

The vanity lights can i hellas get the light unit out

For god sake  :angry: :angry:
