03 Sharan Mk2 Headlight Bulb

[rodders]

any of you with a sharan mk2 changed the headlight bulb drivers side...is it impossible to do it through wheel arch or do i have to loosen headlight...what about loosening the plastic inner wing any thoughts....dont want to loosen headlight itself incase of allignment problems...any pics...thanks..

You can either try using long nosed pliers through the little hatch or as I do just take the headlamp out - it has three of those torx style screws - it doesn't affect the sdjustments as long as you put it back the same way.

what about loosening the plastic inner wing would that be worth a try or is it as bad as everyone makes out..

[Bigjeeze]

I have also done that - it's a useful exercise as you can ensure your scuttle drains are clear at the same time! That uses torx screws and whilst a bit tricky not too problematic.

You say headlight bulb, im which case you dont want to be doing it throught the wheel arch flap, as far as i know this is just for the side light and indicator bulbs.

I always change mine with the headlight in place. A bit tight but it can be done.
