DIY Fog light bulb replacement?
« on: November 22, 2009, 05:48:24 pm »
Chaps,

Is there a DIY/S by S guide to front fog light bulb replacement?
Did google and found a PDF that wasn't specific to the bulbs only and therefore, didn't have illustrations or images.

I've bought some funky 6000k white ones to try, thus any guidelines are appreciated as I'm not sure what needs removing or where to start?

Thanks,
Pete.

open boot lid
remove little plastic cover on the right (looking at the car from the rear)
twist the bulb holder
remove bulb
replace with new bulb
replace bulb hold
refit plastic cover

Notnormal that sounds like the steps for the REAR fog light, not the front.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
