  • Clear and detailed video how to replace ALL headlight bulbs VW Golf Mk4 - main beam,side light, turn signal bulb, fog light and dipped beam.
    Here are bulb types:
    *Dipped beam - H7
    *Indicator (turn signal) - PY21W
    *Fog light - H3
    *Main beam - H1 (H7 in US models)
    *Side light - W5W, 5W
    And here's the link to job description with images at our website, also available in printable format:
    www.wheelsandmotors.com/manua...
    Also, you can get pack of 10 quality H7 (dipped beam bulbs) which will last you forever, instead of buying overpriced from fuel stations. Here's the link to eBay offers:

    Thank you for this guide. I had to remove the battery to make room for my fat fingers to replace the H1 (high beam) and H7 (low beam) bulbs on the drivers side. 👍
    I found the little plugs on the H1 bulbs to be somewhat troublesome to fit back on to the pins they were connected to. H7's were super easy though.

      Xenon bulbs normally take more space. Personally, I didn't have to deal with them, but I believe you would need to take your main beam xenon bulb out to get access to side bulb.
