This is perfect. I've watched half a dozen videos, all of them were missing important info or didn't address an issue that came up. This answered it all in half the time.
Awesome video! Thank you. I attempted to do it without removing the headlight. My hands were to big and the bulb was completely stuck inside the housing. Kudos to you my friend! Thanks!
I know nothing about vehicles and yet this tutorial was easy to follow and apply. Got that RDL changed with no trouble and saved myself $85 and a trip to the car dealership.🙌🏼🥳 THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for making this! I was unsuccessful in removing it. My hand not big, but I couldn’t get it to twist off. I’ve been able to replace all bulbs except the driver’s side daytime running lights.
Daytime running light is the hardest one to change. Great tutorial. But VW is the worst for making the most complicated layout for their engine bay to change the simplest things
You make it look so easy ........ I personally think that VW especially this model is good for the Junk Yard !! I have big hand s and its close to impossible for me to replace this bulb ..
This really helps! The bulb I need to replace, but it’s loose in the headlight cover and out of the socket. Is it easy to remove the cover so I can remove the loose bulb?
Hi Harris, the photo at 1:31 shows you the inside of the headlight housing. If your bulb lies inside this part you should be able to reach easy enough. If your bulb is located beyond this part in the glass enclosure, then you have a different problem. You will probably need to remove the whole headlight to get it out.
Once you remove that outer cover and reach your hand in the hole, how many lightbulbs could you access from this hole? I feel like we are able to access the bulb that would be the highbeam, but I don’t think we reached low enough for the daytime running late. Could that be the case?
Yes, that could absolutely be the case. You have to slide your hand on the bottom of the housing towards the front. The daytime running light is the lowest one.
It is a Braun from Harbor Freight. It is similar to this: www.harborfreight.com/800-lumen-led-rechargeable-magnetic-handheld-foldable-slim-bar-work-light-black-59103.html But it cost half the price. I love it and find it indispensable for working on cars. :)
@Pen-Pusher Why not switch to a better reliable led bulb replacements, such as sylvania standard led with a 1 year warranty or sylvania zevo premium led with a lifetime warranty? This model may not say u have a bulb burned since it doesn’t have higher tech digital dash screen, even though it will tell u bulb is burned out but it’s not because it runs fine. A sylvania zevo would be a perfect upgrade for ur Jetta and so does the rest of the zevo led bulb replacement for ur vehicle.
@@Pen_Pusher no I don’t but I wish lol. I’m just an automotive led lighting enthusiast that I always recommend for those want brightness, is Lasfit or Auxito, or for reliability and longevity, sylvania led is great option BUT, the zevo led is the way to go for the lifetime warranty.
I'm going to send this to the dealer that made me wait 5 hours for them to replace this bulb. They said they had to remove the bumper and then the light fixture to replace it. I called complete BS. Washingtonians aren't the brightest, no pun intended.
This is a great video, but i can't get a grip on the housing part to twist. To all engineers that design stupid stuff like this, it needs to be punched in the mouth. Why is changing a bulb taking me over an hour

Thanks for the encouragement!

Sorry to hear that. Perhaps ask a friend with smaller hands next time. 🙂

You are so welcome!
This was so helpful to do as a woman who doesn’t like to ask for help. Thank you :)
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for the tips! Made the job so easy. Did it exactly like the video and was able to change it in a few minutes.
Glad to hear it went well! Happy New Year to you!

I'm sorry to hear that. See if you can get light and a mirror in there to check if it is rusted on. It is difficult to see in there. :)
How did you change the fog lights? Pulling the bumper?
Sorry, I did not do the fog lights. :(@@niightvl
Excellent advice. 10 minutes with minimal fuss.
Nice!
Amazing video, was able to accomplish this task with ease thanks to your thorough tutorial. Thank you for making this so easy!!
Glad I could help! 😊

Haha It shouldn't be that difficult!
Thank you. My left one has fused twice this year. Bruises my hand every time I must replace it.
You must have bigger hands, like me. A wife, or girlfriend may have the right sized hands. :)
thank you for a very good video. easy to follow
You're welcome!

What is your work light and where did you get it? So very bright!

If I want to change all of the bulbs in my headlights from yellow bulbs to LED bulbs how many pairs do I need
Thank you for this
No worries. Hope it helped!
Replaced the right bulb easily, struggling with left one. Bruised my hand and even got minor cuts, but the bulb is not budging. Any suggestions?
See if you can get light and a mirror in there to check if it is rusted on. It is difficult to see in there. :)
mine turns but won’t come out . what am i doing wrong i dont have $ to pay someone else and already bought the bulb

Thanks for that. You don't work at Sylvania, do you?

@@toyotabrony Haha Thanks anyway!
@@Pen_Pusher Hakuna matata man 🤟🏼
thank you
You're welcome Donna! 🙂
This is not an easy task. I have made several attempts temps to no avail. Is there an alternate way?
Yes, you can remove the headlight from the vehicle and then change the bulb when you have better access.
What is the type for the bulb lamp?
Check the video at 00:15 🙂
I'm going to send this to the dealer that made me wait 5 hours for them to replace this bulb. They said they had to remove the bumper and then the light fixture to replace it. I called complete BS. Washingtonians aren't the brightest, no pun intended.
That's why dealers get a bad name!
Every video shows the easy side lmao
Well, if you are right handed, the other side is easier. :)
Thanks so much however..... if you have a large hand getting it down in there and trying to grip it is almost impossible...VW...come on man! why?
Surely, they could have made it easier! 😉
This is a great video, but i can't get a grip on the housing part to twist. To all engineers that design stupid stuff like this, it needs to be punched in the mouth. Why is changing a bulb taking me over an hour
I am with you there! There must be an easier way...
Yeah if you have baby hands
😂🤣😂🤣
