I got so tired of trying to “find the slot” that I pulled my headlight assembly out, smashed it on the ground and ate the pieces like chips and salsa.
You’re obnoxious and extra af 🤣😭 I can’t stand you 🤣😭
this kind of energy was not expected in this comment section
“Find the slot...”. Good luck comrade.
Holy God I did not know why you said that but now I see the sheer bullshit of that slot
You skipped the one part we’re all struggling with, getting it back in
1:35
Ronald Miller it’s not explained. They can’t do it themselves in fact, and cut the video... and then surprise! It’s in place :-) but thanks anyway... better than nothing
Yea that part was pretty annoying
I almost ripped my whole headlight out in frustration trying to get it back in. 😆
Was watching the whole time hoping for a hack on that lmao
I struggled a great deal, but once I got it, it was fairly simply. So when putting it back make sure the relatively long metal piece on the mount is down. Now putting the bulb assembly in you’re not supposed it have it perfectly horizontal in terms of the black plastic tabs. In fact they should be a bit rotated in the counter clock wise direction i.e. to the left when you’re facing the front of the car. Rotate counter clockwise like 30 degrees when inserting in and then rotate clockwise to lock.
Everybody, read this comment above. I don't know why I assumed that I should insert it with the black tab horizontal, but I spent 45 minutes trying to get it to work before I read this.
"WHEN YOU PUT THE BULB ASSEMBLY BACK IN, START WITH IT INSERTED SLIGHTLY COUNTER CLOCKWISE, THEN WHEN YOU FEEL IT FALL INTO PLACE ROTATE CLOCKWISE"
Thank you @Mighty Syng
Your clockwise or the cars .from which angle r u standing when u put it in
@@takkadi3116 your clockwise. Basically when you are facing the front of headlight and are putting the bulb in, you rotate it a bit to the left aka counter clockwise and then when it feels in position you simply rotate right aka clockwise to lock. When putting the bulb in you can look into the headlight to better position the bulb as you can see if the tip of the bulb is horizontal and centred.
THANK YOU!
Got the job done in under a minute, thanks to the gentlemen's comments and tips! 😅
Top 3 video on CZcams frankly
Thank you! Changed my vw in 30 min. The clip at 1:59 was the hardest part. Putting the clip on without touching the bulb was tougher than it sounds. Once I got it on i was done in seconds. Another tip is to look thru the headlight while putting the bulb back in. This video was great. Thank you! 🙏🏾
There’s this thing called latex gloves. They tend to come in handy
Thanks man! This saved me a lot of trouble. Took me about 10 min thanks to you! ✌️
Liar
Driver's side is especially tricky with the fuse box right there, worse still my light fixture didn't have the same clip/handle to help twist it back into place. This was brutally finicky!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I just replaced the bulb in my Jetta, saving myself time and money
How come I've watch 5 videos with same vehicle and bulb installation on passenger side only? Nobody wants to show how difficult it is to do the driver side?
The difficulty is the same for both sides. But for demonstration purposes, it is smoother to do the passenger side for right handed individuals. As the driver side requires you to use your left hand more.
Right!

Thanks you gained one more subscriber
How do you like those bulbs I have the Silverstar Ultra but they don't seem very white
I just installed led light bulb for my Passat, very white and brighter than halogen
@@aidenw.2277 was it an H7 too? Do you have a link to the adapter you used? I just bought an led light as well thanks
They call it LAG2, it doesn't need any adapter, when I know this led light bulb, was so happy, cause I bought a lot led light bulb, but have error code, This is a good choice for your car.

@@aidenw.2277 They look great just a bit expensive at the moment
@@aidenw.2277 just watched the video you made very cool much easier
$120 before taxes in Toronto today! It’s much appreciated!
Now learn not to touch a halogen bulb...
put on some gloves
Not just any gloves....surgical gloves either Latex or Nitrile.
Hello. Can you do a video also for changing the DRL bulb on Jetta NK6 ? I tried to change it, but I can't. Thanks,
Try doing the dlr lights... The driver side one
You don’t have to remove the metal clip in order to remove the bulb.
I agree,I used a pocket knife jar it open.
Thank you!! This will save me so much time & $$$ then the mechanic!
Is this the same for a 2017 GLI, the headlight looks pretty much the same
how can i do this on the other side. there is not enough space to put my hand in to turn and pull the light bulb out? i think i need to remove something
Jeremy Ruan
Find someone with skinny hands and arms
I took off wheel and inner fender well plastic to access it. Pretty easy
@@scottsmart1883 I see you're replying a little late to this comment but you have the right idea. I haven't done that yet but I did see that removing those pieces would give me a lot more room.
Thank you. My 15 yr old and me did it ourselves. I’m so grateful.
Awesome video dude thank you
this worked great on passenger side, but on driver side I just can't seem to seat the bulb/socket into the headlamp assembly. Its awkward angle, left hand and tight. On passenger side I removed and put back in super easy . . . any tip?
I recommend wearing latex gloves. This way you don't have to worry about touching the bulb.
Is the high beam and low beam bulb the same ? I am trying to switch to LED and I want my bulbs to match the same lighting
Same here, Did you find which one
He mention H7 for High Beam
Not mention Low Beam?
@@frankierodriguez103 it’s the same one
Low beam headlamp = H7
High beam headlamp = H15
Thanks for your help ❤😊
Thank you.
The right light bulb classic twist-off won't budge. Is there a better way to take it off if it has no friction on it?
Is it the exact same process for 2016 VW JETTA?
yes
How about the driver side headlight
Super easy, thank you.
Thank you. Im could fix This!
Thanks Sir
Good knowledge
Thank you
Thanks! Great help!!
Wich side goes down?
How do you change the bulb next to the high beam?
nice car
+anayman7 Thank you!
Question, I was trying to change my bulbs, and the right light is
missing the black piece used to twist head light out. Don't know how it
fell off (car is used), but do you know of a way to change the head
light without the socket?
I dropped the metal piece too and I can't find it . Dropped it right over the belt so I'm scared to turn on ny car
i wanna know how take the front grill off for the same jette ?
please show how to remove headlight assembly
thanks, dude!

Lasfit LAG2 LED light bulb is a good choice for you
Passenger side is the easy side but do you have a tutorial on the drivers side?
Just did this yesterday on my girlfriend's Jetta. My biggest struggle was getting the cover to spin off on the driver side. With the lack of hand room you have. I had a waste cut off of a 2x4 sitting on my work bench. It was a 45 degree angle. So a triangle chunk, that happened to fit perfectly on the cover back plate. I then used a rubber mallet to lightly tap on the wooden block to loosen the lid. After that it was just feeling around with my right hand to get the bulb out.
Stand at the wheel base and go in from that angle use a second person to guide or use a mirror/ your phone . Shine a flashlight through to see the light from opening
is there any aiming at all?
Hello, I have seen the video, it's very helpful for me, I sell the jetta MK6 headlight on Amazon, may I post the headlight link here, please? Thanks
thank you for sharing. it's useful for me
Turns counter clockwise* (in reality I turned it 1080 degrees
I dropped the metal piece😢 and not so lucky like so its gone and I can't find it😭
can you tell me hiw to change vw touran reverse light bulb pls
I watch to listen to this guy’s English
DO NOT FOLLOW THIS VIDEO. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE METAL PIECE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOOSEN THE METAL RETAINER CLIP. EVER. REMOVE THIS VIDEO GUYS.
Sanse mari ca esti roman.
Slow down and speak clearly....This vide should not be a race.
as a note: THIS GUY DID NOT REPLACE THE LOW BEAM BUT THE HIGH BEAM, DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID WATCHING THIS VIDEO AND SO REPLACING THE WRONG BULB
I can’t get the silver piece off the base of the lamp 😩.
How about the fog lights!?
passanger side is easy. hard one is left hand side........ hhhmph
"OKEY"
I don't see that plastic part that you use to take out the headlight in my car
I have no room to fit my hand in, did you remove anythin?
Parsons no you dint have to remove anything and u dont have to pull the metal piece off just wiggle the bulb it will come out
Vw was a real bitch when they came up with this style of headlights
Why didn’t he apply any bulb grease??
Michael Taeu he is probably gonna grease it when he changes the turn signal fluid
This is different on North American cars.
Ive been trying to turn mine in for 30 minutes im ready to start throwing shit
My daughter loves this car, Im gonna trade this hunk of shit off due to the DRIVERS SIDE DIM BEING OUT!!!!!!! Come on VW
Okey Dolboeb okey
Really Volkswagen ......
It’s really not hard at all and this video makes it a little harder than it should be
Really not that hard
