Headlight questions
« on: October 30, 2011, 08:12:36 pm »
My sidelight bulbs are located in the outer edge of the reflector of my main beam but on other cars when people show pictures of changing sidelights they have a bulb in the outer edge of the cluster at the bottom next to the indicator??

My car is a 54 plate and so did they change the design on newer headlights meaning i have the older design or am i missing something completely? 

I also can't see for the life of me how i'd get the indicator bulbs out if they ever failed

Thanks for any comments

If you have halogens, I'm sure you just twist the bulb holder like the main/dipped. Very easy.

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