break Lights. Can you fit yourself?
« on: 03 February 2009, 21:54 »
Hi I have mark 5 gti and was quoted £65 from Arnold Clark to replace bulb and fit back left brakelight. Is it easy to fit yourself? thought this quote was way to high. Any ideas what bulb size standard, how much etc.

Take the car to Halfrauds, pop the rear trim cover, take the bulb out, take it into the shop, find the match, buy the bulb, fit it, replace the trim, job done. :cool:
