H7 dipped beam
H1 main beam

and a H7 is pretty much a H7? I can't get the wrong one?! Daft question I know..

H7 is H7.......there bloody expensive for a pair of bulbs you can get HID kits for £40-50

I'm going to call a local VAG place I take my car to see if they'll supply one so I don't have to buy two! They might, you never know..

Thank you for the quick help kind sir

hey,

sorry to jump on this thread but I've just noticed that my dipped beam bulb has broken. I guess i need to get a H7 bulb but having just had a quick look at it do i simply undo the torx screws and pull the whole light unit out to get access to the bulbs.

Don't have any tools till i get back to my parents tomorrow night. any advice appreciated

thanks

No you just take the plastic cover off the back of the light, no need to remove the light.

The Pas side one is behind a trim, you will need to take 2 screws out and remove the trim first

ok sweet, sounds simple enough. i was just looking at it in the dark and it wasn't clear how to do it.

thanks for the tips
