Title: Problem with high beam
Post by: Wildengti on April 26, 2015, 01:21:59 pm
Anyone had the reflector drop and come loose in GTI black headlights?? My passenger side has come loose when fitting new bulb?

Anyone had the problem? Easy fix or new headlight?

Cheers

It's easier to do with the head light out,only down side if the light is broken you will have to do it all again if you need the car for work

Luckily I don't need it for work :) do you have to take the bumper off? Seen a thread where they removed the bumpstrip under the light to get to the bottom screw??
