You need smaller hands - doesn't help, but that's the VW way...

I'm going to replace these at the weekend, and looking at it have already decided to go via the wheel arch liner.

It was easy, just got my hand in, pull off the rubber cap, feel for the wire and pull!

The holder with bulb pops out. You then need to get 2 hands to change the bulb in the holder but the wire is long enough to do this easily.

Then just push it back in. You can look from the front of the light to get your aim right.

No need to take bumpers or wheel arch liners off.

Done it!:o I changed them both . The o/s was far from easy. I cant help thinking that its not secure. After i fitted them my o/s main beam bulb blew!
