Have just bought some new bulbs to replace the candles in my T6 and having watched this I think I'll get my garage to do it when it goes in for a service. What a fiddly process!

[@greghendricks7326]

Thanks a Million Simon , you saved me lots of fustration and made my life literally brighter and faster 😂 top video

[@simonlongworth4791]

Thanks greg. I am glad it's still helping people.

[@chrispearce6140]

Thank you Simon you legend . No way I could have figured this out without this vid. What an absolute pain in the ### this job is . Something that should be simple . Just isnt!!

[@patrickhazlehurst8472]

Well, done. A very helpful video. Someone suggested leaving the cable on the bulb till it was out but you are right, you have to take the cable off. I'd have given up quite soon without this video. It's not just difficult to get your hands in, it's really hard to see the bulb retaining clip too. In common with other commenters I don't know why the manufacturers make this job so difficult. On a ford Ka you had to take the wheel off and remove the inner wing!

[@simonlongworth4791]

Great tip!

[@remkostreep3628]

Thanks Simon!!!, it's the same with a H7 in my T6. 👍Your video was really helpful.

[@simonlongworth4791]

Thank you so much for taking the time to say that. I am sorry for not replying sooner.

[@arnolddemaagd8678]

Awesome Simon, Thanx for sharing, much appreciated

[@stevehughes7450]

Thanks for sharing this - just done mine and what a hideously awful job it is to do a routine bulb replacement Shame on you VW

[@YllaStar95970]

Same on an Audi, designed so most of us seek paid help ( dealership), Halfords saw the market gap too.

[@cal19902010]

Just pop the air filter cover off much easier. Two clips lift and get your hand down the left side 👍

The one time it pays off to mace the smallest little girly hands! I struggled to do this and have tiny hands. Easier than other cars though. My wife’s Fiat 500 was a nightmare

[@cornholio69]

Doing the same thing right now, I understand the uggghhh 🤣

[@nastydad]

take the air box off. its two clips and a hose. 100x easier.

[@markveal8064]

Thanks for the tip. Taking the box off is easier than changing the bulb 👍👍

[@belindavincent6253]

Thanks for filming this - may give us the confidence to have a go!

[@Chillinan]

Thx that helped me out and made me laugh, just done mine after learning from you - cheers ;)

[@simonlongworth4791]

Hey, no problem and I am glad I could be of some help.

[@geraldjerome5512]

well done made me laugh you said ,,ill put this clip in my pocket so i dont lose it ha ha , well done im about to do mine now cheers

[@simonlongworth4791]

Thanks Gerald. I didn’t see that you had commented until now.

[@iandowney9499]

Did you replace the side and DRLs too?

[@simonlongworth4791]

I replaced the side ones for LEDs but haven’t done the main lights yet.

[@derekweir7692]

what's really annoying is when you change your bulbs and you find the lamp is OK, but the voltage to the dipped beam is only 2 volts

[@simonlongworth4791]

That sucks.

[@bobbinational]

Nice one . What a pig of a job

[@glynn9650]

That’s wasn’t that hard 👍 the little side lights were more awkward

[@maxbutton9996]

Just take the top of the airbox out and the whole process is much easier.

[@simonlongworth4791]

Max Button I wish I had have done that from the start but I’d have probably messed that up, too.

[@DubiousEngineering]

Hahaha... I did this job today... nightmare! ... so fiddly...

[@simonlongworth4791]

Wasn't it just... Hopefully won't have to do it again for a while.

[@redstar612]

if you buy a T6 always go for the LED headlights the normal ones suck

[@simonlongworth4791]

I totally agree. I want to get some after market ones but worried they will just conk out quickly.

[@iandowney9499]

@@simonlongworth4791 Get the Transporter HQ ones, great lights and a great bunch of guys too.

[@simonlongworth4791]

Ian Downey thank you. Saving up.

[@MrSuperdoop]

You need the smallest hands in the world for that job.

[@joebarbour]

So much easier if you remove air filter its only a few clips

[@simonlongworth4791]

Hindsight and all that. Haha. There weren’t any videos around when I did it. But I wish I’d had the confidence to remove it as you say.
