Incredible how VW build their cars. They start with the headlight bulbs then build the rest of the car around the bulbs. Ingenius !

This video makes it look a lot easier than it is, this guy is skilled! If you look at the bulb from the front you can eventually see it poke through and it will help you line it up - this helped me once I realised I could watch it come through

This video make it look soo much easier than the others ive found, where you have to pretty much dismantle the front of the car!!

Thank you, I’m glad it’s easier to follow 😊

Thanks for showing both sides!!

great video, made it easy

Excellent and very informant clear little video. Miles better than similar (but confusing) videos out there and straight to the subject matter. After watching made the 2nd attempt a 5 minute job to replace both bulbs. 👍

Thank you for your feedback, really glad you found it easy to follow 😊

Thank you for this video, you just proved it can be done without stripping the front drill and lower arch liner out lol. Will go find someone with small hands to assist me 😆

Thankyou Sir! Nice video!!

Keep going brother with those good videos we need it ...😊😊😊

Thanks for that this helped a lot, it was nice and easy cheers

You must have the grip strength of the Hulk. I could not get the plastic cover off for my low beams. Daytime, super easy.

So I do not need to jack the car up after all. Thanks for uploading the video.

Brother you're good! the drivers side is a real PITA! for some reason my bulb keeps falling out the socket so I end up pulling out the wheel well. Whatever car I buy next I will definitly check out how to install a bulb as I would have never bought this car.

Decent video well done

the bulb holder wont twist, my hands are all blue at this point

Do the new OEM expansion tanks contain the silica bags ?

I don’t think the new oem ones contain the silica bags because they have moved to a coolant which doesn’t require them :)

I have upgraded package and it's a pain in the butt

What are the so what are the other light bulbs in the headlight? I’m trying to make them all LED

The main headlight bulbs: Halogen: Dipped beam - H7 (like in video) Main beam - H15 Front FOGs - H11 Front indicators - H21W

Did you need to clear the error for the light after that?

I don’t have that access point in my MK7 GTI. Strange, no obvious way to hey to the glove.

Hi bro I just tried to change my bulbs and for some reason it won’t come back on any reason why ?

Hi mate, if it’s the correct lamp there’s no reason it shouldn’t work… unless it was damaged in the post. I don’t think you would have blown a fuse 🤔

@@TurnersWorkshop97 no i basically took it out to see how I would need to change it if I needed to and put it back in and it didn’t work

@martindeluca5069 both sides not working or just the one you removed? It could be that you broke the filament when you removed it or it’s not quite twisted back into position?

Ive done it once 4 years ago and now the light has burned out. Man what a pain in the ass it has been trying to replace the driver side bulb. So far ive only managed to drop one bulb into the abyss 😮

What a fucken nightmare I'm thinking of scrapping the car because of this.

Nice one . saved me going to garage .. they told me it was headlamp out to get to it ... passenger side was a bit more fiddly.. ask Donald trump to help with his small hands ..

Why make it so difficult

Unfortunately the designers don’t think of the people who have to maintain them 😁

1:51 It's better design that of my Fiat Stilo, chaining bulb is nightmare. Cursed Italian engineers Don't know why KZread recommended this but hey if i buy Golf or Polo i have knowledge how to change the bulb

Absolutely terrible design for maintenance,the best system is by Volvo as you simply pull 2 long pins & the whole headlight unit comes out.
