Head Lights

June 10, 2013

Hi all, first cry for help, the dip beam bulb holders have broken off the back of the head lamps, (thought they weren't very bright) on my t3s estate so new head lamps needed.

Does anyone know a good place where I can buy them, at the right price.

Also what needs to be removed to get the head lights off the car.

Any help gratefully received

arre, thanks for the help, I had seen some on eBay but thought I might be better buying new.

I dont so pose you know if the bumper has to come off to replace them.

Hello mate,

I have attached a .pdf file and in the first part it shows how to remove the bumper BUT I wouldn't take the complete bumper off just undo the top part and the screws just inside the wheel arch then lever the bumper off the front wing with a tape covered screwdriver as recommended and drop it forwards ALSO get someone to help as it becomes very flexible at this point.

Secure/hold the bumper in it's partially removed state whilst you remove the complete headlight unit. To remove the complete bumper is a lot more complicated with all the bottom screws etc but it's up to you.

Regards Pete.
