should never pull on wires with pliers you must have been really lucky to get away with it so often, you stretch the wires inside the plastic sheath and they will eventually break altogether. taking the headlight out is no hassle at all. although i do think it's very poor design to have to take the headlight out to change bulbs, mr VW obviously didnt pay much attention in the design process :smiley:

you should have plenty of room behind there mate  :undecided: i changed the dipped beam ones with the headlight insitu (changed the sidelights when you removed the bumper before you say anything)

what size washer bottle you got? 3 or 5.5litre?
