Parking bulb replacement & beam adjustment

GilmaraEire · Dec 9, 2025

Hi I bought an Exeo a few years ago and realised there was only ever one set of parking bulbs (side lights) in use until I found the others.
I'm having trouble finding where the slot is for the ones nearest the headlight bulbs, has anyone a pic of the light housing?
Also my headlight adjustment doesn't work I can turn the switch inside but the lights don't move

There is always the Erwin manuals if you register as a small business and buy a couple of hours of online time. They are the official service manuals. You might find youtube videos which have been put up by helpful guys. Certainly there were some that showed the procedure to get at the halogen bulbs in the pre face-lift Ateca that had a sprinkle of these bulbs... not being really full LED as the blurb at the time. The user manual, if you haven't got it may show some aspects.

Also of use would be checking out the Vag sister cars of the time which probably contained the same units. Another way of looking at it if you draw a blank on the model.

So I went at this today, what a nightmare but I've got the knack to it today without taking out the headlights. So the Exeo like mine have two parking bulbs in each headlamp.. one accessible up to corner of the back of the lights the other not so easy..
The harder one is fitted into a cylinder type bulb holder which is slotted into a hole.
My remedy was using my camera on my phone to see into the back of the light..
One side I could do while looking at my phone using it like a mirror the other I felt around for the screw head you can see in the pic and I knew the hole was just beneath it..
Some people don't realise there are two sets of bulbs in each!!!
