Changing dipped headlights on MK 6 Golf.
-
05-12-2011 1:48pm#1Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm having huge problems replacing the right hand side dipped headlight on my Golf.
The gap between the light holder and battery case is far too tight.
Anyone know of the best way to do this?
I did a Youtube and google search but no joy...

I tried that but it doesn't really give me much more space between the fuse-holders and the headlight housing...
If you've removed the battery housing, can you see the single bolt that holds the battery retaining bracket to the metal battery tray? (13mm IIRC) If you take this off and lift the battery slightly (don't disconnect any cables) you can move the batter a few cm backwards on the tray.
To work on some of those VAG headlight set-ups you needs hands and fingers like a child's; unfortunately mine are more like hams than hands

Ok, I'll try that and post back.

When You pop the bonnet, is there a little handle at the bottom of the headlight that you can pull?
I don't see any handle. Think the front bumper needs to be dropped off to remove the lighting unit.Save your knuckles and your patience and bring it into the dealers. I know my local VW dealer replaces headlight bulbs for free!
Which dealer is that Joe? Orange pilled.

Western Motors, Galway... but I'd expect most VW dealers offer the same service. Yes, to fully remove the headlight, the bumper has to come off! I don't think you need to go to those lengths though.0 -
