In this video, I show how to remove and install the driver's side (left side) low beam headlight bulb in a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI S model. This vehicle uses H7 style bulbs that you can purchase at your local auto parts store. Be careful not to touch the glass of the new bulb. The oil from your fingers can cause the bulb to burn hotter which will shorten the bulb life.

This is the only headlight video I have found that actually goes into detail about positions and everything on install. Every other video I came across just skips to job complete.

I'll start by saying this is a very well done video. I watched another video where they said to remove that metal clip, I think he was doing the high beam. When I pried my metal clip off it did not want to go back into the socket, at all. Something must be wrong with my metal clip that goes on behind my bulb. I could not get it to seat, or to lock when I followed the instructions closely. I made sure everything was put together in the right directions. I took the bulb off to see if the clip was bent and it fell down out of sight. Now I need to find if I can order another one of these clips. Edit - I got some replacement metal tabs, went back to your video and got my new bulb in. Thank you sir.

Thank you for the additional information on how it sits in the bracket, I won’t say I lost 2 bulbs last night into the front fender which is completely sealed, this really is the only thing I dislike about my 2014 5 speed, it burns them out quick 😢and the driver side is 3 to 4 times more like to be the bad one 🤨 of course that’s the one with the least amount of working room

At least your wiring insulation looks intact. My driver side wiring completely disintegrated and blew the fuse. VW would rather risk fire than use long lasting insulation.

Not sure what someone did to ours - low beam has *no* fitting with the large 'ears' to remove the bulb assembly, just the bare connector, with some kind of spring clip held by a screw. 🤔🤔

@Corysdiyauto Жыл бұрын

I never had to change that one yet, so I can't give you any advice. There's probably a video out there somewhere on how to do it.

@majorsssss4539 Жыл бұрын

Is there a specific trick to fit back inside the hole after replacing the bulb. I can't get mine to seat right to lock it in since my hands are much larger than the alloted space

@Corysdiyauto Жыл бұрын

There's really no trick, just patience and determination. Haha.

@jeffkelly636 7 ай бұрын

When replacing the driver side low beam, The thin tab that sticks out on the metal bulb bracket, has to go in turned slightly in the direction toward the passenger side, instead of straight down when you put the bulb assembly back in. Then, you rotate it about 20 or 30 degrees - clockwise facing the bulb socket or counter clockwise if you're facing the front of the car. That metal tab doesn't go in straight down but slightly toward the pass side, when doing the driver bulb. Then you rotate it like he says and with a few tries it should lock. When locked, I think the small metal tab is pointing straight down. I hope this helps someone. Another thing that helps a bit is get a flexible light magnet. That can fit in by the fender gap and put some light on it.

Do you know which relay to change and where in the car so in a way that i can install led flasher bulbs and not have hyperflash?

@Corysdiyauto 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry, I don't know where that relay would be located. I'm guessing it would probably be under the dash. Did you install the LED bulbs yet?

@ItzMattPatt 25 күн бұрын

I cannot for the life of me get it to screw back into its enclosure… I’m putting it in with the tab down, turning clockwise, but nothing. I’m losing my mind 💀

@Corysdiyauto 24 күн бұрын

You're probably not lining it up correctly before turning, unless you have a problem with the light housing? Just make sure that the bulb is flat against the light housing before you start turning to secure it. Hopefully you can get it.

I put leds in instead of halogens and the warning light is still on how could I fix that?

It sounds like you need a CAN bus adapter. I would contact the company that you bought the LEDs from. They should've sold you one with the bulbs.

Do you have any idea how to change the little bulbs by the side of the high beam bulb?

@Corysdiyauto 2 жыл бұрын

Those are referred to as "City Lights" and only illuminate when your low beams are turned on. They are a little more difficult to remove, but with some patience, you should be able to remove them. I would first remove the high beam bulb to give yourself more room. Next, try to reach in there and grab ahold of the back of the bulb and pull straight out. You might want to use needle nose pliers if you can't grip it with your fingers. I hope this helps you. Good luck!
