2012 VW Touareg Taillight Bulb Change 

The flathead will actually fit inside of the plastic bolt you were using the socket on. There is a groove for it near the back inside. You can use a flat head for both left and right sides.

Thank you so much. Single 64 year old lady here and you made it easy to get done.

I just returned from Auto Zone an hour ago; where I replaced the bulb in like eight minutes in their parking lot. The sales guy said, you look like you know what your doing. LOL Thanks for sharing. I'd done this on older cars back in the day and wanted to be sure.

I have had to change both my tail lights 3 times now over a span of 2 years and your video is ALL I’ve needed! Thank you!!!!! 👏👏👏

Thank you sir. I was able to change my tail light within 20 min solely because of your video. I do not have any car background at all.

"Other guy uses wrong tool" let's use SAE on metric hardware. 'merica.

Thank you, the video was a big help. On the 2011 model, the bolt is facing toward the rear of the car from the inside and very hard to get to (driver side), so I couldn't use the 7/16" socket, but was able to use a flat head screwdriver instead (like in the other video), and of course I had bought the 7507, not realizing that I must have the executive model and need the 7506 instead. Back to the auto parts store tomorrow for the correct bulb.

Thank for posting this video! You made it some much easier and identifying the correct bulb. Yes it is the 7506 on my '13 Lux TDI.

Nice work mate,.. thanks from Melbourne Australia!!

Brilliant, helped me a lot. I'll pop my beer in your general direction tonite. Many thanks RW!

Thanks RW your video made it so easy to change the bulb and have the correct bulb ready to install!!

Thanks for the video. Works fine with flathead screwdriver (German spec European car).

Thanks from a dent man in London. May the south rise again.

Thanks have a Lux and was given the 7507 light bulb as well when I walked into Auto Zone. Information was really helpful

You rock man, mine just went out. Thanks and greetings from LA.

Excellent article. Straight-forward and spot-on. Thanks -from MAINE.

I did it! I changed my own bulb. Thanks, Redneck Wizard. 😉

Thanks for your video, very helpful cheers from the UK

Easy explanation and for both sides. Thank you

You're right, that bolt is probably $700! Thanks from Washington

Redneck Wizard! Definitely my kinda guy! Thanks Buddy! WB-USMC-RET.

"Executive level". I'm not sure what package I have (2013), but there was only one bulb, a 7506L, which is a single filament bulb. I couldn't find that bulb at Walmart, so I got 7506, and am hoping for the best.

Helpful, and worth it for the “...he used the wrong f’ing tool” line!

#1 This video was informative & Awesome. The comments about the other video done by the "Eastern European guy" we're hilarious!#2 I am very proud to have been the 69th person to "Like" this video.

Exactly what I needed! Funny thing, as I was loosening the passenger side using my socket and extension, I let go to pull the assembly out and my socket and extension fell into the side of the door through that hatch! Of course it did, right? Luckily I could remove the spare, remove the tire tool kit and reach right in to get it. So, crisis handled.

Thanks- 7506 for a 2014 Sport as well. 5 minutes to do both. Watch the clips on the plastic piece on right side.

Helped A LOT. Thanks!!!!!

Good video. Spot on for details.

Thanks that was easy

"He uses the wrong f*ckin tool" Proceeds to use a standard socket, lol. Great vid, thanks!

Worked for 2011 Lux TDI. 7506 clear bulb.

Hi, thanks for your video, and what's the two silver tools' name on the left?

If you do global videos, please tell the socket sizes in metric, i.e. mm.

thanks man that was easy

The other fella did use the proper tool.

Thank you!!!

Nice job thanks for doing both

Thanks. Very helpful.

Thanks!

I just found out on the passenger rear that you can use a straight screwdriver to unscrew the plastic fastener or a socket

Very helpful thank you!

Hi. Thanks for this video. Quick question. Do you know the size bulb for the lights on the trunk? Thought it was the same only to go and replace it with the bulb you suggested to find that it was an even smaller bulb.

Do you have something on the hatch tail light

Can you do one on the headlights pls

You had Me at "fuckin tool"

Dude why you badmouth the "European Guy"... he speaks English better than you and he used the right tools.... not cool to disrespect other youtubers while promoting yourself

Thanks. Very helpfull

Thank you👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

7506 instead of 7507. Thx, same setup on Hybrid so people know.

I think the us have just the VW Atlas and not the Touareg? Just the Canadians have this model. Is that tru?

thanks!

Ok… I broke the white plastic bolt/screw like a dumbass. Anybody know what’s it’s called or a part number replacement?

Big thank from me

Mines 2013 but looks the same. Only video out there for this model years

thanks for sharing the video. Are you saying the brake and turn signal are using the same bulb? How is that possible since the two lights are used in different senarios? Thanks.

2012 touareg sport, 7506 clear bulb.

Actual 2012 model has a screw ..... type .....

VW being made in ROW use metric nuts and bolts so a 7/16" socket is also the wrong fucking tool too. It's 11mm.

All second gen Touaregs in the USA use red turn signals

7/16'' freedom units brother, use the correct fuckin tool!

Not very nice of you to insult the producer of the other video. Engligh isn't spoken everywhere, he has learnt it as a second language. How many languages can you speak? And as for your comment on the screwdriver, some models particularly those in the EU have a bolt head with both hex and flat/phillips fittings. Try not to be so negative it just reflects poorly on you.
