2016 Volkswagen Passat (SE) - How To Remove Headlight Assembly

[@sophiakvachnev1366]

Thank you so much for the colourful language and crawling so the rest of us can run.

[@fazesaixox7481]

Dude, you're God. Now I can replace my wife's driver side headlamp that a person ran into her, and now I can fix it. Thanks to you, man.

[@rustoleom]

Awesome to hear man because when I looked up how to replace it, no one had my specific car or would show/explain how to, so I made my own for others. I'm glad I could help and good luck!

[@sarlaton1483]

Same reason im here bro 😂😂😂

[@brown_univ]

"Next..you will.. have to remove the fucking grill" 😂😂😂 Looks like I got some fun times ahead of me this weekend.

[@rustoleom]

@@brown_univ lol yes. T’was a pain for sure, but still kinda fun once you get through it and get to admire your work saving money! ;))

[@mauricioyahelarizagaalcala9029]

[@colinalbert5407]

[@hawbiralani6508]

[@rustoleom]

That’s great, you’re very welcome! I’m glad I was able to be of that much help!

[@johnurbach302]

spot on. Such a HUGE help!!!

[@rustoleom]

Awesome to hear, I’m glad I could help!

[@johnurbach302]

I used a belt to get the grill off. I fed a black leather belt through the upper and lower portions of the grill to pull it off.

[@rustoleom]

@@johnurbach302 huh, smart thinking!

[@laycieo3406]

The commentary made me giggle 😂 but thanks for the video "dude"

[@rustoleom]

Lol I’m glad you enjoyed it that much 😂 your comment is “sweet”. I hope you get the reference lol

[@allen5976]

So did you spot the broken bumper tabs inside your wheel well😢, I see 2

[@rustoleom]

Well… this car’s engine actually died on me, so I had to get a new car, sooo yeeaaa 😅 lol thank you tho!

[@victortiburcio8956]

Dude! Thanks for the vid, this is crazy 😂😂😂

[@rustoleom]

No problem, happy I could help 😂

[@jayroth9798]

Great job, super helpful

[@rustoleom]

Good I’m glad I could help!

[@dozerpozer3206]

I have a 2015 an I didnt remove anything but the grill an was able to wiggle out the old assembly and install the new assembly with just doing it slowly

[@rustoleom]

Nice! I'm glad that was able to work for you. I had annoying screws hidden behind things I had to remove 😅

[@dozerpozer3206]

@rustoleom Ah man that sucks, but you got it done

[@TheShakir98]

Thanks, was the same procedure for 2015 Passat

[@rustoleom]

Nice, you’re welcome. I’m glad I was able to help!

[@skee82quinyouhoo]

Should have also shown how to pull the lights out for each bulb. I was looking for a video to show how to do a 2016 VW Passat turn signal bulb replacement, but none show the type I needed to get and the parts stores didn't carry it. So I ordered from Amazon with next day delivery.

[@rustoleom]

Ah ok that's my bad. I didn't think I needed to show bulb replacements since it's pretty much the same on every car, but I do know VW is a pain in the ass sometimes lol and you mentioned turn signal bulbs. I don't think I've ever replaced one of those. I actually don't even have this car anymore. The engine died on me :P

[@contheartist8243]

@@rustoleom most people cant simply just listen to instruction and complete a task. Some need to visually see every step. However this vid absolutely points people in the right direction. Thanks for the help and keep it up with the channel

[@josearriaga9081]

Ty!

[@rustoleom]

No problem!

[@bigloo]

I was gonna change mine due to condensation also, had no idea it would be that much work...that's crazy!

[@rustoleom]

Yea they've hidden a bunch of screws behind the bumper and other spots, so you have to take it all apart to get to them lol

[@justmyself2551]

What are the specs of the wrench you used for this?

[@rustoleom]

I actually don't remember, I'll have to look back in the toolbox sometime

[@conn-]

@@rustoleomever look?

[@rustoleom]

@@conn- I've gotten a new car since then lol but I believe around like 15mm socket or something? And I used a T25 bit for some screws as well. All I did was take my socket wrench kit, and try different ones till I found the one that fit.
