    God, I wish everyone did Walk-throughs like this. No heavy breathing guy going into 30 minute explanation of why he had pizza last night, no giving obvious ass instructions like they're talking to a 2 year old, no shaky unrecognizable video footage. Just clear pointing at what needs to be done. Music is a bit annoying though, but that's why there's a mute option. 10/10

    Thanks guys! I'm doing this first thing tomorrow morning.
    I bought a pair of Taiwan- made direct replacements for $139 off Amazon. My current headlights plastic lenses are peeling! This looks like an easy job using a drill driver, extensions, 10mm socket, T30 & T25 bits.

    Why no wiring harness connection on the passenger side headlight housing when you were removing old lights ?
    Would it not be best to test new lights before putting the bumper back on and screwed tight ?

    Is there a procedure to properly align or bore-sight the headlights? If they are installed a fraction of a millimeter out of position, this becomes a glaring flaw to oncoming traffic and other drivers looking at your car in the rear view mirror. I appreciate this video. Good work.

      Ja sam na mazdi imao leče i žarulje kada si mi se LED pokvario, siguran sam da se bolje vidi sa lečama nego obicnim farovima jer je svjetlost usmjerena bolje i puno manje "curenja" svijetla tamo di ne treba bit.

    Something you missed was that there is a screw for the bumper in each of the lower vents either side too. You showed the right one but didn't see you unscrew them. Same screw as the ones behind the grill.
    In the UK the grill isn't screwed in either it just pops out.
    Great video other than that. Thanks!

      @bazzinbulgaria4826 4 года назад +2

      You don;t need to do all that just to change a bulb...just a lot of patience and small hands. Removing the battery on that side will help a lot. I replaced all of my bulbs in less than hour...lost a bit of blood in the process and taught my daughter a few naughty words, but it all worked fine.
      Like everyone else, I would like to buy better lights for my Golf (brilliant car, let down by rubbish lights), but I don't know where to find them.

    • @vichoko
      @vichoko 4 года назад

      Yeah after some investigation i figured out that the light compartment can be opened with a small plastic-metal mechanism from the inside. Just need to be careful to manipulate the plastic pieces and the bulb can be replaced in minutes without further disassembling.

    Great video - thanks for taking the trouble to share!
    Out of interest : it looks like you replaced the OE (dual halogen reflector) headlights with something that has a projector in the low-beam position. Can you share the details of what replacement headlight you used ? Also, is the projector a halogen or HID/Xenon ?
    I was amused that you also battled with those !^&%!&^%*&^%! stupid plastic retaining straps that hold down the top of the headlight (outer strap on left-hand headlight). Man, they are rubbish .....

      Ah, so you modded the OE headlight with a bi-Xenon HID projector.
      I know it's off-topic, but it would be great if you could share details of the parts you used. I'm interested because I'm busy contemplating doing the same thing and shopping around for parts.
      Been looking at the mini-H1 v7.0 HID projectors with the "mini-Gatling Gun" shroud, both from Morimoto. However it seems the mini-H1 retrofit is a bit difficult because it's too long to fit into the space where the H7 lamp went. What was your experience ? Would be a great topic for a "howto" video since there isn't much on the Golf 4 specifically. But I guess it's a bit too late for that now! ;-)
