VW make cars so hard for the casual maintainer to fix and repair, but thanks to videos like this we can do it.

Thank You very much! After first trying myself and then searching the complete internet including ChatGPT to replace the H7 Light on my Golf IV, i found your video. And yours is simply the only real Golf IV Frontlight bulb replecement video, because it shows the complete process an the details behind! Whithout it I could never have changed the bulbs by myself. Thank You a thousend times 🙂

Thank you for this guide. I had to remove the battery to make room for my fat fingers to replace the H1 (high beam) and H7 (low beam) bulbs on the drivers side. 👍 I found the little plugs on the H1 bulbs to be somewhat troublesome to fit back on to the pins they were connected to. H7's were super easy though.

@dean4545 3 года назад

Thank you! This helped me to change the little side light on the right light of the car. Strangely the left one failed when i changed the right one (i had disconnected the "+" from the battery before doing anything). I changed the right one too and now they all work. Thanks!

I am replacing the headlights on my 2000 GTI. The ones I got from ebay look just like yours inside but are missing the light socket twisty thing @4:10, the ones from my OEM lights don't fit and have a bulb with a rectangle connector 3457AK. Where can I get this part so I can install my new headlights?

Does keys need to be in car or car need to be locked while we changing lights

@wawayltd 11 месяцев назад

It doesn't really matter. Just make sure that there is no voltage going to headlight. Switch it off, and, probably, best to take key out of ignition.

Xenon bulbs normally take more space. Personally, I didn't have to deal with them, but I believe you would need to take your main beam xenon bulb out to get access to side bulb.

Whenever my golf IV breaks a bulb, I make sure to change ALL of these bulbs at the same time, costs like 30bucks, but you avoid the risks och breaking another bulb only a few miles afterwards... Also, it's much easier to remove the bumber and pull the entire headlight off.... T25 wrench is literally all you need.

@zuberebrahim1294 5 лет назад

Pls help. I cant reach to change the inners. There is not much place to play to replace the bulb. Outer headlight bulbs are sorted

Someone commented that to replace inners - best thing to do is remove light and then replace bulbls. Here's how you remove it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p_gjdwydBZo.html
