By far the best video of a golf 7 headlight bulb change i havd ever seen, was quick straight to the point and you made it look so easy .... Excellent video bro!!!! Well done... Loved it
watching other videos made the work more complicated unless i came across your video and i followed it carefully then voallaaaaaaa i did as a charm.... great video
Excellent video! I wish I had seen this before I payed my garage to change the bulbs. They removed the front bumper and charged me 2 hours labour £90. I could of done this myself. Ah well live and learn. My standard Philips bulbs lasted 5.5 years and they were replaced with osram d3s. Hopefully they will last the same length of time and I'll be in a mk8 before they go.
Thank you very much! I have now succesfully installed 2 new xenonlamps. Osram Nightbreaker Lazer. Very statiesfied with their performance. All thanks to your video!! Thanks again!
Super Video! Hab in ca. 1.5h beide Birnen gewechselt! Absolut kein Hexenwerk und Gott weiß wie viel EUR gespart. Alles ging perfekt. Einzige was Du nicht gezeigt hast war wie man den Stecker von Scheinwerfer löst. Ich war ein bissel verwirrt aber hab es in kurze erledigt. Die neue Osram Cool Blue Intense Next Gen 6200K werden installiert und die sind MEGA. Danke nochmals ! :) Thanks for the outstanding video, it went perfectly without taking off the bumper. This guy knows some shiiieeet :)
I need to change my xenon bulb the first time since i bought the car in 2015. Im gonna install the OSRAM Night Breaker hopefuly i will change it with this helpfull video. !
Great Video!!!!! Bought new Philips bulbs for my MK7 GTI. Always wondered how hard it is to replace OEM bulbs. Now I know, gotta be very well prepared to do so... hahaha Thanks!!

In my 2014 Golf, the right side was easy, but on the left side I struggled to pull the bumper aside. I almost broke it down pulling with 2 hands many times, but it didn't want to release. Then (after almost giving up) I noticed a black plastic 10mm hex nut. That was holding the bumper and the fender so close together, that the clips didn't release. This 10mm hex nut is not mentioned in any guide, not even in the official Osram guide (when they replace xenon with LED headlights, where they show the tools and screws needed in the process)
Hi! and thank you for the replay and insight. Thats interesting - you are the second person I got that information from. After reading about that and looking it up on VW Erwin (an official website with all the dealer information) i found out that that particullar hex screw was sometimes used when the car came in for service and there was a complaint about "not perfect fitting" between the bumper and the fender. Its basicly some sort of workaround from VW. Have a nice day!
Hi! I love the video and help me to change the lights to my car, but right now i have a problem with the daytime running lights, maybe do you have a video or a guide to check that light or change it? My car have the same light than you
Excellent installvideo, much appreciated. By the way you pull the bumper off the fender, I can tell that you must have done this many times before... ;-) The first time the bumper needs a LOT of FORCE to come off the fender.....
My 2014 golf gtd is saying low beam failure , does that mean the xenon bulb needs changing ? If so what bulb do I need to buy in advance of the job ? Thanks a million
My Xenon bulb D3S (Philips) died on left side, should i change right side to? if someone only change one side how long did it take before the other side died to?
Hi, my xenon on my 2016 have stopped working- you didn't show what light was actually burnt out, or that you snapped, was it the Large U? Or your night time lights.
That Golf from the Video had the top spec headlight with dynamic light assist, but yes, every xenon headlight with in the mk7 range uses the d3s bulbs, doesent matter if its the low xenon without corneringlight, the mid xenon with corneringlight, or the DLA typ. For the halogen corneringlight (H7) inside all xenon headlights, that turns on when you set the indicator or take corners under 50km/h you dont need to remove the headlights :)
Gotta save you guys the time of reading all these comments. OP mentioned having to take the car into the dealer to have them realigned. I've always hated changing bulbs out due to the alignment never matching OEM and this is no different.
hi ! i would say, if your stock ones are already a little older, then yes. The CBB defenitly feel brighter on dry roads. I really enjoy them so far!! Lightcolour matches almost the VAG Led ones. I do recommend them
Hey there! Overall, all you need is a nice Set of Torx Bits. Inside the wheel well, if i remember corect, its T25. The intakepart with the VW Emblem are T20. The Headlight itself are T30 or T35. To open the headlights you need T15. I can look it up today for you again. See ya later :)
Pretty grate run down, thanks I used this to get the job done. I broke the plastic retainer pins on the power cabling that connects to the headlight though...I couldn't pull them off as easily as you did and broke them. Any tips on how to do this for others?

Hi, I have a golf and am trying to decide between the cbb’s and xtreme visions. In your opinion which perform better on dry roads and give the best visibility overall?
If you are looking for overall performance yet still maintain a nice cold blueish looking colour, maybe the coolblueintense are what you are looking for. Cool Blue Boost are still fine in dry conditions and they do look great - here in germany right now its winter and allways wet and you do loose visibility with that shiny cool blueish lights. Compared to both coolblueboost and intense, the x-treme visions are yellowy looking. Better then stock oem lights tho. If you decide to get one from osram dont be dissapointed at first - give them a good week to burn in :) Good looks with less performance - CBB still nice white with good performance - CBI yellowish with good performance - Xtr-Vision
hi there! no, thats not a problem, that sensor is mounted directly to the crash bumper behind the frontbumper. Just if you remove the front bumper, keep in mind to remove the PDC-wiring harness and also the wiring harness to the ACC, which is also mounted somewhere to the bumper aswell. You can loosen the bumper and pull it forward 30-50cm to disconnect those wiring harnesses easy.

I'm debating and can't decide between CBB or CBI next gen. CBB are the best looking but are not road legal. Will you get pulled over for "too blueish" looking headlights?? Even though people driving around with led look more blue. What about Tüv or the vehicle inspection every second year? Do they have devices to measure and conclude them illegal?
Hey there! The 7.5 with halogen headlights can be changed without removing the headlight itself. Well the LED Headlights ... you cant acces them anyways :D
Hi, is the light regulating itself, i mean, heightwise? I have a GTI clubsport and i want to change the xenon bulbs myself, because i find the originals not really strong...
they do adjust themself to weight shifting and changing, based on a set calibration level which can be to low from factory. It's called "Grundeinstellung" inside the light controllmodul. This sets the zeroed point which is used for readjusting around that point while accelerating or loading the car. (at least for the european market) It's never a bad decision to change the factory xenon bulbs. They are "good" but nothing more then that. If you want good looks and better performance I would recommend the Osram CoolBlue Intense or Phillips Xtreme Vision. For pure light performance, the Osram Nightbreaker is the choice for you.
you can try to remove the inner fenderliner only, you can make it work like that too, you do need little hands and a self made Torx T20 90° wrench tool.
@@Alexander.90 I know this site is in German, but you can see the tool and the steps on how to change the bulbs like this. schnelles-wissen.de/golf-7-xenon-brenner-wechseln

na zum Glück kann das jeder selbst entscheiden ;) Bin beruflich viel in den Abendstunden unterwegs. Xenon mit Dynamic Light Assist und maskierendem Fernlicht, wie bei diesem Golf, will ich da nie wieder missen ^^
I have the same golf 7 with xenon headlights. I’m between osram cool blue intense 6000k and Philips Ultinon 6000k. Which one is best and brighter? Here in Brazil I cannot find CBB’s. Sorry for the poor english..
No worrys, i got you :) I personally would choose the Osram, just because i know them and they lasted me really long with great light output. Much Love to brazil :)
Hi there do I need just two Osram D3S to replicate your entire light look? Kindly address things like the Daytime Running Lights or additional bulbs to buy your have entire light look like yours good sir
Hello Sir, it depends. VW used 3 different Headlight Variants for them Xenon Headlights (atleast here in the EU) The low spec Xenons use halogen DRL, the mid (cornering lights) and high (dynamic light assist) spec Headlights use the U-Shape DRL in LED technoligy. In my case - i got the top trim high spec, so everything else, except the indicators are already LED´s. In general, yes you only need the D3s Bulbs.
Hi, all you really need is a nice compact bit set. I use one from "Proxxon". I used a 90° ratched with or without extension for the wheel housing. Torx bit T25, the headlights use T30. Jacking the car up does help too
@@death3443 thanks so much! Here in the UC the dealrsjop charges 2 hours of labor = 360 dollars to have this changed. Insane how you can do it in 15 min.
Hi! VW hat die ne zeitlang als TwinSpoke verkauft. Es sind 19 Zöller. Mit den 225/35R19 Reifen wirkt das echt riesig. Momentan sind diese leider nicht lieferbar, aber gebraucht mit sicherheit irgendwo zu finden :)
Torx T25 for wheelhousing bolts and upper radiatorgrill T30 for the bolts that hold the headlights in place T20 for the bolts at the back of the headlight extensions are usefull too :)
Cheers, the tape shows the headlight allignment. Because when you loosen the bolts to the headlamp there is quite some play to it when you mount it back. Those lines can help to correctly position the unit itself. While not beeing 100% i do suggest to go to VW to make a new allignment, otherwise there could be a possible blinding threat to oncoming traffic.
@@death3443 wait... so you need to take the car into the dealer to get the leveling aligned? That should be the first thing mentioned in RED lol Guess I'll pass on doing this upgrade
@@mikeymarenco5791if you work carefull and make measerments (tape on the wall beforehand) you do not need to do that. Me personally, I like to have things done 101% correct. So yes i went to the dealer, but he just looked at it and sent me away because it was okay.

Great video, thank you. I had trouble unplugging the cables from the headlight assembly. This video shows how to unplug that type of connector: czcams.com/video/z0bof-1h3Yg/video.html
When you have to almost dismantle the whole car just to change a light bulb, to me is a proof of a very very bad design from the car maker. Want exemples? Ford Mondeo mk3 you take just 2 vertical pins out and the headlight comes off: very good design. Saab 93 (my car) you can change all the bulbs without taking headlight off very good design. VW Golf you need a garage, a bunch of tools, unscrew bumper, front grill, then take headlight off, 1 work hour and a lot of sweat VERY BAD DESIGN...
I get your point, but anyway, Xenon headlights are known to last 5-7 years with normal usage. You can do it a little bit easy without removing all the stuff i did here. Jack the car up remove the front inner fenderliner and you get easy acces from the back. My car is lowered and not that easy to jack up with my trusty old floorjack so i went this way. Anywho, this video is ment to help those who dont want to pay the dealer for that kind of work (they remove the complete bumper). The Golf with halogen headlights got easy access on the other hand (written by Law). VW just doesnt want everyone fiddling arround with Xenon bulbs because they can, if handled careless, hurt bad. I changed Headlights and bulbs throughout almost every car company and the only one that I like the most are Volvos (the older ones). Pull two pins and voilá you got yourself a headlight. Great design. But the newer ones V60 2016 are just as much pain to change then the golf ... they just dont want normal people doin that.
@@X20c3ntX i still prefer like its shown in the video. You can still try doing it through the inner fenderliners but its soooo anoying to get the screws out, especialy at the driver side. have a nice day :)
Oh mein Gott.... das ist ja furchtbar und auch laut EU Regel nicht zulässig. Ich bin echt froh das ich ein über 20 Jahr altes Auto fahre wo die schnell gewechselt sind.
@@death3443 Klar gibts noch komplizierter verbaute Scheinwerfer. Ich denke mir manchmal was sich der Hersteller bei so einer Konstruktion denkt, denn eine "Birne " kann immer überall durchbrennen und am Straßenrand ist das dann lustig so ein Brenner zu wechseln. Deshalb haben die Hersteller von der EU ja auch schon einen auf den Sack bekommen und die Folgemodelle darauf konnte man die Birnen/Brenner wieder normal wechseln. Ohne Licht zu fahren kann lebensgefährlich sein.
@@nogaroc4 Skoda verbaut beim Octavia (nicht der neueste) Blinker welche die Fahrzeuglebensdauer halten sollen. Man kann diese nur tauschen wenn man das Scheinwerfergehäuse auf der Rückseite an einer vorgestanzten Stelle aufbricht. Das Set zum Abdichten kostet dann weitere 23€ ...
Kracksn Nicht war oder ? 🙄🙄😳😳 Da muss man sich vorher das Auto ganz genau anschauen wie manche Sachen gelöst sind bevor man es kauft. Der Kunde hat das eigentlich in der Hand, denn wenn die von solchen Fahrzeugen keine verkaufen würden, würde ein FL sehr schnell kommen wo das vernünftig gelöst ist.

@@harryberry474 I don't own that car anymore, if you don't like them, don't buy them :)
Bei nem Standard Golf kann man auch die Serien Scheinwerfer drin lassen sieht meiner Meinung nach nur gut am gti / r aus 😄
na zum Glück kann das jeder selbst entscheiden ;)
Bin beruflich viel in den Abendstunden unterwegs. Xenon mit Dynamic Light Assist und maskierendem Fernlicht, wie bei diesem Golf, will ich da nie wieder missen ^^
Hey there, what are the name of the rims ? Nice ones
Hi!
Volkswagen sells them as "TwinSpoke"
I have the same golf 7 with xenon headlights. I’m between osram cool blue intense 6000k and Philips Ultinon 6000k. Which one is best and brighter?
Here in Brazil I cannot find CBB’s. Sorry for the poor english..
No worrys, i got you :) I personally would choose the Osram, just because i know them and they lasted me really long with great light output. Much Love to brazil :)
Thanks for the fast reply
Any tips for other lamps nowadays?
Congratulations for the channel ! There are really good content :)
Wie heißen die Felgen?
Quali sono le lampadine ?
I have question. i have same headlights are my bulbs the same
Hi Luka! in the MK7 Golf with Xenon headlights its allways the D3S version :)
have a great day!
@@death3443 Thank You a lot
Hi there do I need just two Osram D3S to replicate your entire light look? Kindly address things like the Daytime Running Lights or additional bulbs to buy your have entire light look like yours good sir
Hello Sir, it depends. VW used 3 different Headlight Variants for them Xenon Headlights (atleast here in the EU) The low spec Xenons use halogen DRL, the mid (cornering lights) and high (dynamic light assist) spec Headlights use the U-Shape DRL in LED technoligy.
In my case - i got the top trim high spec, so everything else, except the indicators are already LED´s.
In general, yes you only need the D3s Bulbs.
@@death3443 Many Thanks for the guidance.
If you need further Information about indicator sockettype let me know :)
Sono 6000 k?
Does the dash show up any error?
when the lightbulb is broken, yes. Otherwise and because of the changing - no :)
I just can't get my headlight out, can't find screws in the bottom it's driving me insane, I swear vw made this a pain in the arse on purpose
Can you please advise what type of tools ( type os screwdriver etc, were used to achieve this? Thank you
Hi, all you really need is a nice compact bit set. I use one from "Proxxon".
I used a 90° ratched with or without extension for the wheel housing. Torx bit T25, the headlights use T30. Jacking the car up does help too
@@death3443 can you share a link where to buy it please? Thank you
@@ak_1806 that one is all you need to wrench around :) amzn.eu/d/hNyvjdf
@@death3443 thanks so much! Here in the UC the dealrsjop charges 2 hours of labor = 360 dollars to have this changed. Insane how you can do it in 15 min.
What is this rim model?
cheers, those are OEM Aftermarket Parts from VW. You can look them up under the name "VW TwinSpoke" :)
Wie heißen diese Felgen? Die sehen mächtig aus.
Hi!
VW hat die ne zeitlang als TwinSpoke verkauft.
Es sind 19 Zöller.
Mit den 225/35R19 Reifen wirkt das echt riesig. Momentan sind diese leider nicht lieferbar, aber gebraucht mit sicherheit irgendwo zu finden :)
What tools did you need for this?
Torx T25 for wheelhousing bolts and upper radiatorgrill
T30 for the bolts that hold the headlights in place
T20 for the bolts at the back of the headlight
extensions are usefull too :)
Size and name of the rims? 😍
VW TwinSpoke 19" 225/35R19. Lovely Wheels, a pain to clean xD
@@death3443 I have the same on my golf...such a nice wheel but yeah pain to clean lol
So what was the point of the tape on the wall?
Cheers, the tape shows the headlight allignment. Because when you loosen the bolts to the headlamp there is quite some play to it when you mount it back. Those lines can help to correctly position the unit itself. While not beeing 100% i do suggest to go to VW to make a new allignment, otherwise there could be a possible blinding threat to oncoming traffic.
@@death3443 thanks dude! I’m after finding your channel and watching every video, shame you no longer have the car.
@@death3443 wait... so you need to take the car into the dealer to get the leveling aligned? That should be the first thing mentioned in RED lol Guess I'll pass on doing this upgrade
@@mikeymarenco5791if you work carefull and make measerments (tape on the wall beforehand) you do not need to do that.
Me personally, I like to have things done 101% correct. So yes i went to the dealer, but he just looked at it and sent me away because it was okay.
Man man, wat een armoe zo’n vw
what are the rims called??
hi Muhammed! Volkswagen calls the "TwinSpoke" 19" with 225/35R19 tires :)
@@death3443 thank you 👍
thats way too much work to change bulbs
Hallo. Sind nich eig. Noch schrauben von stosstange zum Kotflügel.. Bei dir war es nur geclipst. :o
Kann man lösen, geht aber auch ohne. Die ersten male allerdings sehr streng ;)
Ah okay. Hatte vorhin beide xenonbrenner gewechselt. Ca eineinhalb stunde hab ich gebraucht. Mit 2 bier 😄👍 deine Anleitung war sehr hilfreich.
@@stefangabriel5795 freut mich. Mit Bier gehts immer leichter :D
2:22 das geht nicht bei mir, alle Schrauben sind raus 100% aber einfach geht nicht, nur ecke kann mann fast umknicken
Das erste mal? Welches Baujahr? Bei manchen Modellen gibt es eine schraube welche die Stoßstange mit dem Kotflügel verbindet, diese ist senkrecht geschraubt. Wenn keine schraube zu sehen ist. Mit starker Liebe ziehen :)
@@death3443 Norbert Olah hat ein komentar gelassen ich glaube meine Problem ist gleich…kann sein gibt eine extra Schraube drinnen, weill es kann nichts so fest sein, btw golf 7 2014 highline nlumotion 2.0 disel
@@moha4917 am besten bei eingeschlagenen rad und Wagenheber mit der Taschenlampe die Stoßstange von innen anleuchten, dann erkennt man recht gut wo es zwickt
@@death3443 danke dir ich versuche morgen noch einmal danke 😊
Great video, thank you. I had trouble unplugging the cables from the headlight assembly. This video shows how to unplug that type of connector: czcams.com/video/z0bof-1h3Yg/video.html
broeke the gril 😢
Why tf did VW make it such a pain in the ass just to change a bulb
When you have to almost dismantle the whole car just to change a light bulb, to me is a proof of a very very bad design from the car maker. Want exemples? Ford Mondeo mk3 you take just 2 vertical pins out and the headlight comes off: very good design. Saab 93 (my car) you can change all the bulbs without taking headlight off very good design. VW Golf you need a garage, a bunch of tools, unscrew bumper, front grill, then take headlight off, 1 work hour and a lot of sweat VERY BAD DESIGN...
I get your point, but anyway, Xenon headlights are known to last 5-7 years with normal usage. You can do it a little bit easy without removing all the stuff i did here. Jack the car up remove the front inner fenderliner and you get easy acces from the back. My car is lowered and not that easy to jack up with my trusty old floorjack so i went this way.
Anywho, this video is ment to help those who dont want to pay the dealer for that kind of work (they remove the complete bumper).
The Golf with halogen headlights got easy access on the other hand (written by Law). VW just doesnt want everyone fiddling arround with Xenon bulbs because they can, if handled careless, hurt bad.
I changed Headlights and bulbs throughout almost every car company and the only one that I like the most are Volvos (the older ones). Pull two pins and voilá you got yourself a headlight. Great design. But the newer ones V60 2016 are just as much pain to change then the golf ... they just dont want normal people doin that.
@@death3443 Would you personally do it from the inner fenderline if you could or you prefer the way you did it in the video?
@@X20c3ntX i still prefer like its shown in the video. You can still try doing it through the inner fenderliners but its soooo anoying to get the screws out, especialy at the driver side.
have a nice day :)
@@death3443 Thank you, have a good one too ! Time to go have fun with that 🤣
@@X20c3ntX if something is unclear, let me know :) i'll try to explain as best as I can :D cheers
Shit
Oh mein Gott.... das ist ja furchtbar und auch laut EU Regel nicht zulässig. Ich bin echt froh das ich ein über 20 Jahr altes Auto fahre wo die schnell gewechselt sind.
gibt schlimmeres. :D aber ja, könnte einfacher sein ^^
@@death3443 Klar gibts noch komplizierter verbaute Scheinwerfer. Ich denke mir manchmal was sich der Hersteller bei so einer Konstruktion denkt, denn eine "Birne " kann immer überall durchbrennen und am Straßenrand ist das dann lustig so ein Brenner zu wechseln. Deshalb haben die Hersteller von der EU ja auch schon einen auf den Sack bekommen und die Folgemodelle darauf konnte man die Birnen/Brenner wieder normal wechseln. Ohne Licht zu fahren kann lebensgefährlich sein.
@@nogaroc4
Skoda verbaut beim Octavia (nicht der neueste) Blinker welche die Fahrzeuglebensdauer halten sollen. Man kann diese nur tauschen wenn man das Scheinwerfergehäuse auf der Rückseite an einer vorgestanzten Stelle aufbricht. Das Set zum Abdichten kostet dann weitere 23€ ...
Kracksn Nicht war oder ? 🙄🙄😳😳 Da muss man sich vorher das Auto ganz genau anschauen wie manche Sachen gelöst sind bevor man es kauft. Der Kunde hat das eigentlich in der Hand, denn wenn die von solchen Fahrzeugen keine verkaufen würden, würde ein FL sehr schnell kommen wo das vernünftig gelöst ist.
