Title: Mk5 Xenon issue - please help
Post by: qwackstar on January 14, 2018, 06:06:47 pm

Hi guys,

Sorry if this topic has been discussed, I’ve had a problem with my bulbs not sitting inside the housing properly, the locking ring don’t seem to lock in place for both sides. I’ve already tried with the headlights out and with them in.

Has anyone else had a similar problem that can help.

Thanks in advance

You need to check where the arrow is on the round retaining clip, fit the bulb in and then I think it's a quarter turn to lock them in place from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock

I’ve already tried that and the bulbs still doesn’t lock in place, any others ideas what it could be?

D2S bulbs? You're not doing it right

Yeah, they can go only go in one way.  If they are genuine Xenons and not Chinese fake D2S bulbs, then something isn't right.
