Even after 7 years , This is still the best video out there on the whole KZbin.

[@wawayltd]

Thanks 😊

I can confirm this.

[@kukol]

The best tutorial i've seen on the VW bulb change.

[@wawayltd]

Thank you :) I tried..

[@kukol]

And succeeded! ;-)

as others said - best tutorial out there, i just changed my dipped beam bulb and thanks to this video it went smoothly, thanks for taking your time and making this

[@wawayltd]

You're welcome 👍

[@sirfer6969]

@@wawayltd....same here, except the small side light or parking light as we call it in NZ. VW make cars so hard for the casual maintainer to fix and repair, but thanks to videos like this we can do it. Thanks to this video it cost me $8 to get my Road worthiness cert (WOF in NZ), thanks a million, chief =)

[@wawayltd]

Glad if it helps even in NZ 😎👍

Thank you very much 😊

[@DTrain4711]

Thank You very much! After first trying myself and then searching the complete internet including ChatGPT to replace the H7 Light on my Golf IV, i found your video. And yours is simply the only real Golf IV Frontlight bulb replecement video, because it shows the complete process an the details behind! Whithout it I could never have changed the bulbs by myself. Thank You a thousend times 🙂

[@wawayltd]

You're welcome 👍

[@amarnam6983]

Many thanks. My "Side light" went and had no idea what bulb i needed until I cam across your video. Keep up the great work.

[@didis97]

Thank you so much! The auto part stores where I live have no idea what light bulb goes in the side light. I am very thankful to have found your video with the model number for each light!

[@wawayltd]

You'r every welcome :)

[@Faershaun]

Thank you for this guide. I had to remove the battery to make room for my fat fingers to replace the H1 (high beam) and H7 (low beam) bulbs on the drivers side. 👍 I found the little plugs on the H1 bulbs to be somewhat troublesome to fit back on to the pins they were connected to. H7's were super easy though.

[@wawayltd]

You're welcome 👍

[@mooganoid]

Absolutely superb video, with the detail shown perfectly! I just need it to stop raining so I can swap out my dipped/full beam bulbs - the joy of England in January. 😩😂

[@wawayltd]

That's alright. Spring is not too far. 😉

[@normlui3282]

I couldn't find any other videos on the "Side bulb" replacement. Yours is the only one that has it. Super helpful & many thanks.

[@wawayltd]

You're very welcome 👍

[@dean4545]

Thank you! This helped me to change the little side light on the right light of the car. Strangely the left one failed when i changed the right one (i had disconnected the "+" from the battery before doing anything). I changed the right one too and now they all work. Thanks!

[@wawayltd]

You're very welcome 👍

[@georgthelord]

Thanks man! Thanks to your tutorial I could change the main bulb and the small side bulb without any issues on my Golf 4. Would have been a lot harder without you! Much love from Germany!

[@wawayltd]

Vielen Dank! 😎👍

[@InCountry6970]

Indeed, this is the best video on changing both the golf headlight bulbs. This guy shows you how to do this with the headlight housing attached to the vehicle, like in the real world for all of us

i need some help regarding my sideligt for my seat leon mk1.i wanted to add a led strip but after wiring it all.my driver side sidelight and back light has stop working. i have checked the fuse and all.any help here please

[@LeeDunkelberg]

Thanks very much! The Bentley manual I bought for my VW Cabrio is rubbish for this (and much else).

[@lunra]

I am replacing the headlights on my 2000 GTI. The ones I got from ebay look just like yours inside but are missing the light socket twisty thing @4:10, the ones from my OEM lights don't fit and have a bulb with a rectangle connector 3457AK. Where can I get this part so I can install my new headlights?

[@wawayltd]

Sorry Anthony, I don't have that car for about 4 years. TPS sell original VW parts. You can try to search Internet (like Autodoc). But I don't think I can do it better than you.

[@charliejohnsson6857]

Whenever my golf IV breaks a bulb, I make sure to change ALL of these bulbs at the same time, costs like 30bucks, but you avoid the risks och breaking another bulb only a few miles afterwards... Also, it's much easier to remove the bumber and pull the entire headlight off.... T25 wrench is literally all you need.

[@marktaylor3051]

thanks pal. great help

[@wawayltd]

You're welcome, Mark :)

[@D-S-G-R]

For the fog lights I wanna make it orange. does the wire come off from the original light or do I have to Buy one with the wire

[@wawayltd]

It depends what lights you have for replacing. Try to talk to people who sold them?

its so hard to work on it, cause my fingers not going in there : ) i need to remove headlights everytime and thn i can change the bulbs :) Thank you WV

Does keys need to be in car or car need to be locked while we changing lights

[@wawayltd]

It doesn't really matter. Just make sure that there is no voltage going to headlight. Switch it off, and, probably, best to take key out of ignition.

[@5bananas1]

what should you do if the high beam indicator stays on and you press the indicator stalk either way and nothing happens? all the other lights work on both sides.

[@wawayltd]

Wow. Never heard of this problem. Don't even know how to help... Maybe some faulty stuck switch?

[@nedzadish]

I have xenon lights (main) on golf IV, and I want to change my side lights, does it matter if they're xenon or usual?

[@wawayltd]

Xenon bulbs normally take more space. Personally, I didn't have to deal with them, but I believe you would need to take your main beam xenon bulb out to get access to side bulb.

[@scorpionnetherrealm8937]

Nightdevil where did you get your xenon bulbs from please

[@ashtonmurch2142]

FYI, the main beam for US spec is H7 and for UK spec is H1.

[@wawayltd]

Thanks Ashton! Good to know. I've just edited video description and website page. My new Sharan has H7 for both - dipped and main. I like it that way - makes it simple. Thanks again :)
