No, it’s awful. It doesn’t rotate anti-clockwise. The people who design cars are sociopathic.

[@justanotherdashcam24]

He/she makes it look so easy, they're the most awkward bulbs I've ever had to change on a car 😅 . They don't twist out or back in with any ease whatsoever. Very frustrating and you may also have to remove the twisty bit in order to get the bulb free from the connector.

[@k-nemo]

I know, the space is very tight

[@mikezooper]

It’s because sociopaths become designers because they realise they cause more distress than if they had become serial killers 😂

[@tonyrobinson362]

Try changing the DRL bulb nr the batt it's impossible.

What you have failed to show in your video is how to take off the fuel filter! That is the main problem changing this bulb as you have to have the right sockets and they need to be very long and very special.

[@Billy-wb2op]

I did it without removing, you just have to murder your hands to get in between there

[@LaurentGgg]

So this are the low beam that uses h7 bulbs. What type of lights are used on the main bain?

[@Multibjarne]

You helped me save hundreds of dollars - thanks, man!

[@k-nemo]

Great to hear!

[@mikezooper]

I now need to spend hundreds of dollars on therapy (because car designers are obviously sociopathic 😂)

[@jocksteeluk]

Clear, concise and precise, excellent video, thank you very much!

[@mikezooper]

Nope. Doesn’t work. Made me really angry.

[@tipptund3]

I have a question : how strong you have to roatate the connector. I tried to roatate with force but it stayed in socklet

[@k-nemo]

@@tipptund3 You don't need to use a lot of force. Make sure you're turning in the right direction.

how to change the bulb when there is the diesel filter that blocks access? I have a TDI

[@k-nemo]

I have never changed the bulb in diesel car so unfortunately I can't give you any advice.

[@ludovicmanify]

@@k-nemo thanks !✌

[@richardsmith3735]

II have the TDI and the only way I could get the bulb in was by unbolting the filter housing (3 x 25 torx bolts) a bit of a pain but not as hard as first appears if you have a fairly modern socket set. I did mine when i was cleaning the earth strap which sits under the fuel filter so it was being moved anyway. Made getting the bulb out far easier.

[@k-nemo]

It's great you have managed to do it

[@Nixter1974007]

@@richardsmith3735 Going to attempt this shortly. I've the same, 1.6 TDI and want to upgrade the OEM bulbs which are awful at night. Is it easy enough to access both lights?

[@janedvinsson]

The arrow that shows which way to turn the H7 bulb was necessary to know. Happy pulling it away I did not look so much on how it was sitting, I mean how to put it back. It took a while to figure it out. For me with a Skoda Roomster there are two broader tinplates that is going under the two screws that are on each side, left and right in the middle. and when you do that the third small tinplate should be up within the space that is to the up side, that tinplate is only to keep the bulb in place, to keep the tension when you slid the other tinplates under the screws.

[@marijeabrahamse-jf1db]

This comment saved me after 40 mins of not getting it back in 😂 it’s the same for me with a Skoda Fabia.

[@lotus.addict4312]

Looks like you have removed something to gain access would have been helpful to show what and how you removed to give you the space was it the oil filter?

[@aadleering106]

I see an enormous space, while in my car it's impossible to put your hand in that place. If it would be like this than it would be easy, but now changing a bulb is a disaster.

[@TheStefanskoglund1]

He cheated - most of the film is about the right side there space is okish. Left (your case) is far worse.

[@sinanduman4551]

[@jbradshaw4236]

Im struggling to get the bulb out of the connecter.. is it brut force and a wiggle?

[@k-nemo]

You have to move the bulb from side to side and than pull out

[@jbradshaw4236]

@@k-nemo Thanks for your reply.. i refuse to pay for someone to fit a bulb. Im convienced the car makers are making everything harder to make people fork out at main dealers

[@k-nemo]

You're right, you can do it yourself within a few minutes

[@NawYeDidnae]

Yeah, not feasible in my Fabia Mk2 without taking out the fuel filter housing first. You've either removed the filter housing and not shown that step, or your car doesn't have the filter in that position. You have loads of space in this video but the rest of us have a whole metal bracket right in front of where you need to reach in. I've just ordered some Tx bits to remove the housing tomorrow

[@k-nemo]

@NawYeDidnae In my version there was no need to remove the filter housing.

[@NawYeDidnae]

@k-nemo oh damn. I guess they don't call it a Roomster for nothing. Yeah for the housing you need Torx bits, I think it might be a T45 because my T40 (biggest one I had) still bad a bit of wiggle room. But you'll also need a long extension to reach in to get them out. It's just 3 bolts and it should just shift out of the way enough to get a hand in. I just managed to get the battery side done. That was a mission too but was do-able.

Now that you've removed the rubber cap and let moisture in. How do you remove the moisture?

The cap is not a protection from moisture as it is not hermetic. It is a protection from dust only.

[@8MWm3e4b]

So if you should't touch the bulb with the fingers than with what you should touch it :)?

[@k-nemo]

I meant not to touch the glass part of the bulb as it will have dark spots later. Also you can't pull for the glass as it can break. Both easy done as the access is really tight

[@k-nemo]

@GregYou can do it with the glove. Be careful as the bulb is fragile and might break

[@chrisclarke8422]

As with a lot of bulbs fingers can leave a fine residue of grease, typically in the form of fingerprints and this causes the bulb to overheat and burn out. Wearing clean gloves avoids this problem. This is one of many reasons service engineers are to be seen wearing the disposable latex type gloves.
