I need the bulb list!

[@davidsnaith9041]

Thanks for the super helpful video, Bryn. A word to the wise, be very careful NOT to bump the Xenon bulb when manoeuvring the locking collar into place. My bulb fell down into the cavity in front of the wheel well and turned a 10 minute job into an hour long ordeal.

[@crikeymikey3691]

Nicely thought out video, Bryn, with a bit of much appreciated comedy. :-) The Xenon bulbs degrade slowly over time but never seem to actually fail. I reckon most owners new to a Mk1 TT have no idea that their headlight bulbs are 20 years old, or why their lights are so crap at night. My advice is buy quality replacements, not ebay specials. You get what you pay for and can never have enough light at night. You'll probably never have to replace them again. Top job as usual, mate. :-)

[@schwantz037]

So halogen headlight will not work on a TT with xenons? Doh I may have just bought the wrong headlight...lol. Any suggestions for bulb upgrades?

[@crikeymikey3691]

@@schwantz037 Osram D2S. But make sure they are genuine. :-)

[@mathieupulco2]

Nice video, i recently bought some H7 led for my highbeam they are working but only bright like normal beam! What did I do wrong and what bulb should I have used?

[@adrianflower3230]

Great content, thank you!

[@JG-if4ly]

What a good video! Thanks man 🙂

[@TheMCRstudios]

Bought one of these, and your videos have been AMAZINGLY helpful! Loved this one. My side body lights would not detach from their plug. I twisted and pulled, nothing. Watched this, took some pliers and yanked them off. Put my LED ones in and the Audi is looking good!

[@ineedthatcar7169]

Any links to the LED bulbs you used?

[@TheMCRstudios]

@@ineedthatcar7169 if you look on ebay you find them. I got sequential ones that are real cool

Is there any beam height adjustment on the Xenon headlights?

[@fernandocorona5116]

[@pretsas]

Great video, thanks. Has anyone put the Philips Ultinon Pro3021 LED Car Headlight Bulb (H7) in?

[@camo8752]

[@cmckel1]

Hi I've got a s3 8l and the dipped headlights are not working, the fuses are fine. Can't seem to find any helpful information online on how to fix this. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

Большое спасибо Bryn , подписался на ваш канал

For some reason the white part with to two bulbs only has one bulb on my car

[@juanalbertolopez136]

Hi i have a 2003 audi tt Quatro the driver side light not working ,i removed the whole cluster checked it on the passenger side it turns on fine i tested the passenger side on the driver side it wont turn on what fould it be?

[@jojrr]

I replaced the brake light bulbs that now work but when I turn on the headlights they don’t turn on. Any suggestions ? Thanks

[@user-ij3yu8fg7j]

Very nice. List of bulb numbers at the end would be good. Much appreciated

[@seba2038]

is the taillight for uk same as for Europe cars- left wheel?

[@TheJohnDenim]

Do you have to remove the whole bumper to have access, to put clips back in place on main beam lamps? My clips have come away. Haynes say remove whole front bumper. Seems a pain in the ass.

[@jnrsmooth]

Brilliant video mate saved my ass a few times on the TT with your how to videos I've sent you a pm on Facebook as I need a question answering if you get the time can you help me please buddy 👍🏼😎

[@pedromendonca4082]

Great video mate, you forgot the full list of bulb type tho. Cheers!

[@BWSTT]

Yeah I’m sorting it with links to buy, coming soon

[@arispoli1269]

Thx for this. My xenons are out so swapping all my front bulbs. Any recommends of brand make model?

[@CHR1SSCAR]

Also waiting for the list mate. parrott bros recommended the osram nightbreaker laser D2S Xenarc.

[@Thomas-nn4ze]

Hey @BWSTT, any chance you could post the bulb types? I know the xenon is a DS2 and the high beams are H7, but not sure on the other little ones. Appreciate it!

[@puffytiger9439]

Great vid Bryn, nice and clear. Anyone out there know about xenon lights? My dipped lights (xenons) go out after approx 60 secs. They reset but go out each time but not at same time. I'm changing bulbs but wondered if I need to check ballast (not exactly sure what this is or how to do it). Any advice for trouble shooting is much appreciated.

[@chuffamarley8120]

I have this issue also, very annoying I hope you sorted your issue

[@tozdat51]

Hi, You video doesn't show location and how change parking front light bulb. Is located somewhere inside this assembly and power by same power plug, wire # 2 in the socket. Going someplace inside the assembly. This is orange button strip in this assembly. I did got all bulbs like you was showing but can't locate the parking bulb. Fuses # 22, 23. My right is ok and glowing parking light. Thank you for info if you can

[@halemcdan1]

After sucessfully changing the blown dipped beam with improved bulbs I noticed both the front side lights we out. The bulb warning was not triggered like the dipped beam. It seems this is normal(?) Suggest everyone checks theirs. (H6W) Still under 40k on my 2006 1.8 2wd.

[@nanopeepee955]

hi guys uhhhh, so what is the part number for the indicator bulbs on the headlights and on the side lights 😅?

[@Ianf1x]

In the 7 years I have had car the parking light bulbs front have gone 5 times. One time one went while having mot so failed. Thay couldn't figure out how to get to bulbs so I replaced it right in front of them no problem 😁

[@MsSamanthaTKO]

Do you take out the whole headlamp?

[@jrfitzii]

Does anyone know what it does when you pull out the switch to turn on the lights? I don’t see any changes

[@BWSTT]

One pull is front fogs, 2 pulls is rear fogs, only when sidelights or dipped beam are on

[@bobmutchseo]

mk1 or mk2?

[@BWSTT]

I mean im guessing youve not watched before asking that?

[@NovaRedHead]

Now here's a question, my TT doesn't blink it's blinkers on any corner, they are solid. Which bulbs get switched? 🤔 😅

[@BWSTT]

Your hazard switch houses the relay, so thats the likely fault

[@NovaRedHead]

@BWSTT well I'll start there. I appreciate you and your videos my guy 🤙🏻

[@l1akosgr363]

where are the turning signal bulbs ?

[@BWSTT]

It’s an Audi you don’t need them 🤷🏼 front rear or side?

[@Vaiva.J]

Is it a coincidence that I had two break bulbs and a headlight bulb blow in two days or is there something wrong with the car and I should have it scanned? What's your opinion, please? 🙂

[@BWSTT]

If there is an issue it wont be with a system that can be scanned

[@Vaiva.J]

Understood, thanks.
