How to Install H4 Headlight Bulbs into a 2018 VW T6

Hi everyone. I had such trouble with this install the first time that I thought I would crack out a video to try help anyone else in the same situation.
The Bulbs I fit were Phillips (150% brighter) and they absolutely made a difference to the beam strength.

Well, done. A very helpful video. Someone suggested leaving the cable on the bulb till it was out but you are right, you have to take the cable off. I'd have given up quite soon without this video. It's not just difficult to get your hands in, it's really hard to see the bulb retaining clip too. In common with other commenters I don't know why the manufacturers make this job so difficult. On a ford Ka you had to take the wheel off and remove the inner wing!

Same on an Audi, designed so most of us seek paid help ( dealership), Halfords saw the market gap too.

The one time it pays off to mace the smallest little girly hands! I struggled to do this and have tiny hands. Easier than other cars though. My wife’s Fiat 500 was a nightmare

take the air box off. its two clips and a hose. 100x easier.

@markveal8064 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tip. Taking the box off is easier than changing the bulb 👍👍

Did you replace the side and DRLs too?

@simonlongworth4791 4 жыл бұрын

I replaced the side ones for LEDs but haven’t done the main lights yet.

@derekweir7692 Жыл бұрын

what's really annoying is when you change your bulbs and you find the lamp is OK, but the voltage to the dipped beam is only 2 volts

Just take the top of the airbox out and the whole process is much easier.

Max Button I wish I had have done that from the start but I’d have probably messed that up, too.

@redstar612 4 жыл бұрын

if you buy a T6 always go for the LED headlights the normal ones suck

I totally agree. I want to get some after market ones but worried they will just conk out quickly.

Hindsight and all that. Haha. There weren’t any videos around when I did it. But I wish I’d had the confidence to remove it as you say.
