How do you pull it out with the black socket, no one is filming that part

[@MeltdownxPR]

The bulb above the windshield washer reservoir is a pain to get to, the plastic cover doesn’t want to come off

[@MarshMarlowe12]

Just did this myself. Your video was helpful. For me, I needed to rotate the bulb fixture clockwise to pull the bulb from the headlight. Just a tip if that helps anyone

[@QuiteAlright]

Thanks for sharing

[@brandoncabral6722]

Thanks I was trying counterclockwise

[@ckh937610]

What if the bulb falls through while trying to turn it? I have 3 bulbs sitting in front of the hole. The setup for this is way too small.

flexible magnet

Happened to me twice. After the 2nd one fell in, I took out the entire headlight assembly and shook them out. Pain in the A

[@anthonywhiteman9833]

Thanks for the honest commentary. When I was changing the bulb it slipped out of plug and was inside the headlight assembly. I had to take out the headlight bulbs and fish around for the drl bulb. Hope to never have to do that again.

[@QuiteAlright]

Thanks for sharing and yes I can imagine the hassle you went through. Sometimes things like that just happen

[@ckh937610]

How were you able to do that?

[@jamesbirch9614]

Definitely appreciate the video AND the down-to-Earth *honesty*. It’s late Sunday with just a little daylight left and I was gonna try this (prior to watching your video). Lol, I think I’ll wait for a better day.

[@QuiteAlright]

Thanks for watching and for the comment. Good luck with the repair

[@PRESTO5796]

Too difficult for me to do so I guess I have to pay big money to replace that left daytime running light😤😤😤! Kind thanks anyway‼️

[@jamesbirch9614]

How much was it, if you don’t mind saying?

[@PRESTO5796]

@@jamesbirch9614 ~ I have a license plate cover that say US ARMY VETERAN , plus I have 2 stickers from 25th Infantry Division & 2nd Infantry Division, so I was quite surprised that the owner didn’t charge me a penny & said “Thank you for your ( or your son’s )service. I said , “I’m the vet!” 🇺🇸👍🏾😁[Originally the estimated cost was $60 bucks]

[@jamesbirch9614]

@@PRESTO5796 well that is awesome, and I’m glad to hear it! My father was career military - entered the Navy at 17 during WWII, later transferring to USAF. I too appreciate your service. Proud that someone extended their thanks to you in a tangible way. 👍

Remove the headlight assembly much faster but more time-consuming

[@MrOramato]

VW Engineers their cars to make dealership work; heads up their asses IMHO.

[@QuiteAlright]

That's true. Lots of things are designed so you have to take it to the dealer

[@earlmcdaniel6931]

This is the little Mrs. commenting here, Thank you! As a 5'3" female, I was able to do this by opening the hood. Always baby VW plastic parts, the older the car is the easier they break. It was frustrating!!!

[@QuiteAlright]

You're welcome and good job :)

Short and to the point. Thank you. wished everyone was like that.
