Not Mk5 but how the hell do you replace a Xenon bulb on the MK6 Golf!
« on: January 28, 2015, 10:11:54 pm »
How the bloody hell do you change Xenon headlight bulbs on the Mk6 Golf without removing the headlight as i will be damned if i can figure it out!

With the rear cap removed you have about a 2-3cm which is nowhere near enough to remove manoeuvre the headlight bulb. Am i missing something?

I'm sure the bumper has to come off and the headlight taken out. :surprised:

Just found a video on Youtube and it looks like it is a bumper off job - bugger!

Poor show VW. :sad1:
Looks like they've gone backwards as taking the bumper off and removing the headlight is how you change the bulbs on a MK4,as I found out on the missus car after a LOT of swearing!
I was astounded about how easy it is on the MK5...I reckon the designers must have consulted the engineers!

Think you might be able to get to it just by taking the wheel off and the wheel arch liner out
