Firstly i opolagise as i have used the search button but just found people who had had the same problems. Im bassically looking for some tips on how to fit the said bulbs into the passenger side headlight. I have a TDi FR and the uber huge battery/cover give you no access to the back of the lamp at all!

How akward is this likely to be?:(

Thanks in advance Liam.

You mean take the battery cover off? is this easy?
Also ive noticed a peice of plastic that seems to run along the back of the passenger side lamp with a couple of screws in it if this could be removed it would help considerably.

I need a pic to explain the latter really.:think:

not battery cover, the cover which is covering the headlamps, should be held on by 2 clips, either side of the cover

yeah remove the battery cover, lifts off after pressing two releasing buttons hal;f way down each side of the cover, then the cover with 2 screws fastened to the slam panel.

Yes you need to remove this and the back of the headlight as mentioned.
