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!

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

That was the most painful thing I’ve watched. Had to stop half way through. lol.

It looks cool at first glance, but why is the sequence front to rear and not rear to front? And then vice versa the question. Sequential indicators should be showing the intended direction of your next manoeuvre. In this case, as it is mounted on the side of a vehicle, is only creating confusion in my opinion.

Thankyou very much for this vid because I’m having the same problem, gonna take it back to Halfords to fit them.£18

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

No way you were the first video to pop up when I was searching how to change a light bulb on a T5 😂😂 nice vid mate 👍

Thank you for this. Wanted an idea of what to do before going at it on my T5.1

Big help im going to try and put new ones in tomorrow.

Did you have to disconnect the battery to stop any error codes or just leave ignition alone?

Switched off soon as you started using cheap Chinees crap!!

Awesome Simon, Thanx for sharing, much appreciated

Looks lots better in chrome keeping all my badges chrome everybody’s doing !…black …. Black is the norm chrome looks great an with chrome grill strips Edging _and chrome sidebars on transporter t5.1

Chrome looks better

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

Nice one Longshanks!

top man.

I have found that the DRL LED bulbs from Travelin lite don't last as long as the ones from Classic car LEDs.

Hi Simon - miss your T6 ‘mods’ vids….do you still have the T6?….

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

Brilliant video Simon, love your self efacing approach. It definitely helped me. I did end up with all the same scratches and grazes as you. With regard to the air filter, it really is easy to take the top off. One screwdriver required for the jubilee clip. Two tab clips, one front, one rear, push and pull the sensor plug on the top. Move the hose, give it a wiggle and it's off, one minute to reassemble. Then that sidelight will be much easier. Thanks again though.

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

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

Real world fit, real world item. Fitting mine tomorrow, based on your experience, ( same van, same reason).👍

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

Just an average guy doing stuff we should all give a go, well done lad. 👍

Te cagaste

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!

Looking from the front, the left hand bulb can be changed easier by removing the air filter housing first….easily done (KZbin video available). 20 mins to do this, plus bulbs each side. Love the changes.

Bought the new T5.1 headlights with DRLs from THQ with the LED H7 & H4 cambus attachment , bumper off job to get the bulbs in place , worth the ball ache & i hope they last more than a year given the cost . but deffo recommend them for the van .

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

14 diamondback tank supply me farm veng district let go I need to place my country

"barb" should be on deflector side - so can grab and hold deflector

Have you changed the DLR bulbs on the VW sharan? I'm struggling to get the bulb out of the housing on my 2017 VW sharan.. would be helpful if you can share any tips on how to get this done. Nice video man - thanks

Thank you - made it easy.

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!!

Love the channel man great vids and great help to us with our T5.1 👍

Nice one . What a pig of a job

When you bolt in just keep loose other bolts to get in tread 🤭😂🤣

Hi Simon where did you get the sequential lighting I recently bought a transporter 6.1

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

Hello mate Thanks for your video. Btw they are not copy of someone else wind deflectors they are made by this company Team Heko (btw very good brand ) 👍👍

These look spot on, think I'll grab a set for mine!
