How to Replace a VW Rabbit Tail Light Brake Light Bulb 

I’ve had my 08 rabbit for 12 years and today, thanks to this video, I changed the signal light by myself vs having the good people of jiffy lube change it for me. Thanks for the clear instructions, telling me what size socket wrench you used and good tip about the rag to catch butter finger dropped screws.

This was very helpful and clear to follow, thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Good god what an ordeal just to replace a bulb. I hope I don’t mess up. I sure miss my 81 rabbit. Easy peasy replacing the bulbs on that one. Thanks again ;)

Clear, accurate instructions for changing the bulb. Much more clear than the car owner's manual. Thanks.

You are so clear minded and easy to follow! Thank you.

Thank you for the thorough explanation on how to change the rear light, keep up the great work

Great video... step by step, clear camera views as well as narration!

Great video - very helpful - clear easy to understand. Successfully changed my light which had been driving me crazy for the past 3 months !! thank you Kathy - keep it up !!

THANK YOU MY DEAR WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE THIS OUT WITHOUT YOUR HELP !!!THANKS FOR SHOWING THIS SAVED ME SOME $

Great advice, thank you! Very useful, especially the part with removing the last clamp, I really though I was gonna break it. Thumbs up!

Nice job! You sure do have a nice clean car in the back! Thanks for the lesson, this will save us some service station money for sure!

Kathy, I am trully impressed! You can cook and replace car back light bulbs. MARRY ME KNOW. LOL! Now if I have a back light bulb blow, I will know how to replace it and not have to pay an expensive mechanic bill. I also did not know you shouldn't touch the bulbs, since the oil our skin produces will decrease it's lifetime. Thanks, HPE Teacher

Thank you very much for posting this! It was extremely helpful!!!

This video was so helpful! Thank you for clear instructions

7:44 thanks much, very good video

Helpful video, thank you for sharing the video. I'm gonna change my rabbit tail bulb as well.

Thanks! Just replaced my taillight bulbs. I touched one of the bulbs by accident so we'll see how long it lasts. They were only $3 for both at my local VW dealership so I'm not too worried!

Intesresting, here in Europe, golf 5 doesnt have the same bulbs, we have a orange one h6W for the indicators on the middle

Thank you lovely lady :)

My brake light keeps going out when it rains because water is somehow getting into that area. Any tips to seal or fix this? One shop drilled a small hole in the brake light reflector and that worked well. But for some reason they only did one and the problem is in both brake lights.

Wau very easily done . Thanks

👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much

Not touching the bulb is only for halogen bulbs

cool video talk kathy
