mk3 gti headlight problem!? loose connection?
« on: 05 March 2008, 19:57 »
Hi guys... when I bought my car, one headlight was out...

thinking it was just the bulb, i bought a new set... its not... seems like its a dodgy connection on the passenger side (quite awkward to get to in front of the battery) (1996 16v)

Anyway sometimes its on if you fiddle with it but its failing to light up more often than not.

Quite dirty connections...

could it be a case of filing down all of the connectors that fit onto the end of the H1 bulb?
Just a bit strange as Ive seen it working but its as if it only stays on for  abit or goes on/ off if im on a bumpy road

Is this a common mk3 problem?

anyone ever had this before?
