Excellent video. Boy did I have a rough go of it when trying to line up and engage the locking mechanism.
Such an awkward design 🤣 glad the video helped you out 💯👌
A mechanic told me $200. to change not upgrade my 2005 VW Beetle headlights. I said I might be a 70 year old lady, but I''m not stupid enough to allow you to rip me off. Thanks for this Video.
Wow shame on that mechanic, glad the video helped really easy to change the bulbs
Thank you, I will change mine later...
This surprised me, it was so easy . A lot of manufactures make changing bulbs a nightmare on their cars it seems. Not VW , in this application anyway 👍
Totally, on Golfs it's even easier. VW do design most things so well making it easy to carry out repairs
Question , can the main headlight bulbs be changed without changing the side lights , or must I change them both .
Great vid and 1st class info , thanks .
You can change them separately it doesn't make a difference
I found the LEDs to be a PITA - take housing out, swap over, put housing back in, realise bulb is wrong way, take housing out, swap around, put housing back in, repeat on other side lol ... Had some decent ones in mine, but they all seem to fail after a short while and start flickering/die completely. Got some xenon style osrams in now to go with my MTEC cosmos blue H1s and it gives a nice HID look to it. Not the best light output, but I just can't stand yellow in bulbs lol
Yes a year or so on I've given up on LEDs too 😂😂 exactly the same experience, I like the nightbreaker lights I prefer to see where I'm going as I live in the countryside 👌 buy yeah totally ditched LEDs for now
@@meatmanifesto I just drive with a torch out of the window :D (they're not that bad really, but not as bright as OEM)
😂😂 I currently have a MK4 Golf the stock lights on that are pretty darn good, I've learnt to embrace the retro yellow hue 😂😎
Great video! What are the sizes of the bulbs? There are 3 bulbs I side right?
I think I did mention it in the video
Thanks for sharing.
Glad the video helped
Hi mate, i cant get into the one on the battery side, can you let me know if its a battery out job, mine is an 06 plate UK 1.8 T. Be much appreciated if you could advise, thanks
Taking the battery out definitely makes life a lot easier and you can see what you're doing.
@@meatmanifesto Thanks for that, much appreciated 👌👍
No worries at all
@@meatmanifesto 👌👍
Nice n easy there bruv!
Really simple look much better too 👌 the next video I replaced the number plate bulbs and all the interior bulbs to LED
Thanks mate
Thank you for this. Is it possible to install LED's as the main lights?
You can get them but I've read many mixed reviews on them not so good
Happy NEW Year)))...can you tell me ...i need One pair H1 And One pair of H7 OF LED ????
😁
Brilliant 👍
Thank you 👌

Is the housing fairly easy to swap as well?

Very easy, those lights look nice

Interesting, mines an 01 it only has 2 lights a high and low beam
No side light? Are you in the UK?

THE STERRING WHEEL IS ON THE WRONG SIDE MAN!! WOULD BE GREAT TO PUT THE YEAR IN YOUR DISCRIPTION ADDRESS!
No need to SHOUT! any year beetle that looks like the one in the video is kinda a clue 🤣 we're on the RIGHT side lefty 👍✅
