This video shows very clearly how to do this. Completed today and the instruction is much appreciated.

Great video, the engineers did well on making a simpel headlight removal so difficult..

Thank you so much for your video! It helped me figure out where I went wrong on my headlight repair !!!! Much appreciated.

Thank you so much for sharing! I tried for few hours on my own and would've failed without this, but can now see how it goes - and 150 euros saved. What an idiotic design flaw from Volkswagen to make it this complicated!

Thanks for this informative video. One minor 'correction' though: You do not have to undo the first 2 screws. For those who have trouble replacing bulbs, lift the front corner up and unscrew the 6 screws on the upper part of the wheel arch liner, and you'll get a good access to replace bulbs.

Will you be able to replace all pf the bulbs like this? I know the front turn signal bulbs are tricky to reach but if I am able to lift the car and remove those 6 screws and replace the bulb that way it would be great

Access from the BOTTOM is much easier! With the wheel turned toward the engine, use a T25 to remove 3 screws holding the wheel well liner (3:20), pull back the liner carefully, and you're there.

The same method works for VW Touran from 2016 as well. Thank you for sharing this video helped a lot!

thanks for this. excellent practical tips. just changed mine in 2 minutes flat. Bulb was $18 at O'reilllys btw.

Thank for your video bro, helped a lot!

super práce chlape, díky!

Very helpful! many thanks!

exactly what I needed :-)

pomohlo, vdaka 👍 uzitocne pre tych, co maju xenony

Can’t say this took me 7 hours to do before I watched the video….Also broke a headlight clamp in the process. Was a right pain. I’d say I’m a professional now though how many times I had them lights in and out of their holder!!

Thank you so much for sharing!

Used this video to remove headlamp on my UK 2017MY Golf GTI to replace the headlamp washer jet after it became frozen and the clips for the cover broke last winter. 🙌🏻

Thanks a lot. Save me $$$ by doing it myself. I helps playing it at 1.75X.

Thankyou! good video

Hi can you do water pump and thermostat replacement on this engine please would be a great video . Thanks

Unbelievably difficult compared to my 2013 Kia Rio 5 which took 15 minutes to remove the whole headlight assembly. What were the design engineers thinking!! Make it Simple!!

Very well shot considering how awkward that job is to do and film.

If you repeat this process on the driver’s side, do you need to disconnect the bonnet release cable from the metal headlight bracket?

Thank you👍🌹

So on reinstalling, can you recommend not screwing in the bastard behind the front plastic?

Is it Possible to chance the headlights Glas ? They sell Glasses on Ebay , but is it possible ?

Very helpful indeed - thank you. A sad comment on the evolution of the design, though. You can change a headlight bulb on a Mk III at the roadside in the dark with no tools in about five minutes.

thanks for the video. whata POS design by vw

Why to take out the hole headlight? I just changed my bulbs on spot

Stop putting screws and tools in the engine compartment. That is a recrpie for drops and forgotten stuff. Later on the road: "What was that sound?". I have even dropped into a carbureator 😂 😊😂

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great video

oki doki ;-))

Actually the easier ways is to remove the fuse box and the ECU...standby size 10 rachet...2 screws thats all

Todo muy bién pero yo he cambiado las bombillas sin quitar los faros .🤭

Mine have been changed today without all that mess. You need to speak to polish people😂😂😂

Thanks for the vid... what a pain in the @$$! One would think the "mighty german Volkswagen" company would make it at least a LITTLE easier to remove the headlamps... d@mn! BTW, not to offend or anything, but dude, why don't you clean your car once in a year or two whether it needs it or not! :-P It will look nicer, and last you MUCH longer in the long run. Thanks again.

Thanks for the sweat GW. VW should be ashamed of such a poor design that requires all that work to change a light bulb. Another example of making sure their less capable customers HAVE to go to a dealer. Shame on VW.

I know this is an old comment but... Not if you're just doing Halogens since they have the easy plastic handle on the bulb to screw in. My LED has no handle and my hand is too big to fit between my fuse box and the low beam spot to screw it in. Off comes my bumper.

This is ridiculous. I just changed mine in 5mins. Its tight but was able to squeeze my fingers in and remove and replace the bulb. No unnecessary work

So, it's obvious that automotive engineers have parts of their brains removed when they take the position. The only interesting question is: 1) Is it done surgically, or 2) do they inject some sort of targeted parasite into theirs ears that just eats away the part of their brains where common sense is located?

What the fuck? I changed my bulbs in minutes without doing all that. The removal of the unit is not necessary

So, VW be very ashamed - imagine your driving 500 miles at night (I often do), headlight bulb goes - so impossible to replace roadside - VW should not be allowed to sell this vehicle, it is an accident waiting to happen... stupid design!

Or alternatively you could just take the cap off the back,unscrew the bulb holder,replace bulb,replace cap..all done..under 5 minutes, but if I needed to remove the whole unit then yeah this video helps..
