timbo999 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I'm looking to upgrade the OEM bulbs to some better Philips ones as couldnt stretch the budget to HID :) :) Retrofitted them to my Passat, which was a pig to do, just wondering if there is a clever trick or technique to changing out the bulbs on the Mk3? Also, want to swap out the indicators to get rid of the 'fried-egg' look :) (sad I know, but it does improve it!) Quote
insider Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 It appears to be fairly straightforward if you look in your manual. You need to remove the complete headlamp unit first then access to the bulbs is simple. Quote
