have to take the bumper off I believe, which is why I still haven't replaced my high beam

Yup. Took mine to my local dealer and they charged Â£16 and had it done within 30 minutes (I supplied the bulbs)

Really? that doesn't sound too bad. VW were going to charge me Â£80 to replace a brake pedal switch which only cost Â£8!

Obviously you have never come into contact with a 6n2 with xenons.

I was just outside scratching my head on how to change my side light so did a search on how it's done. Was a bit peed off when I discovered the bumper had to come off... that was until I found this post!
You are a lifesaver - thanks
