If for any reason you can't get them done, bring them to the RR on Saturday, and I'll help you get them done  :wink:

if you have limber fingers the headlights bulbs in a 1.8T are a piece of p!ss to change. just remember to unscrew the bit of plastic trim on the front panel by the battery (has a picture of a bulb on it, strangely :grin: ). it took me longer to work out how the sprung retaining clip went back in than to slot the bulb in.

shouldnt make a big deal of swapping out headlights, i kid you not.. my 9 yr old nephew took my bumper off in about 15 minutes (with supervision of course, he wanted to help :laugh: )
