Don't be daft - 3 screws.

I guess you only know what you know when you know it or someone tells or shows you

Purchased X-treme Vision bulbs and got sidelight bulbs freebie.
Thanks for the info

ok - so to follow up on the 'don't be daft' it's only 3 screws comment - here I am armed with an appropriate screwdriver and the screws don't seem to want to come all the way out so the light wont release - there's 2 screws and a little clippy thing. Trying hard and failing to not be daft but need help.

On the plus side - I have followed the face book thread and now have lights on the dashboard!

Having removed the headlamp trim ring - which is held in place by 1 screw, you then reveal the unit.

There are 3 small screws which hold the headlamp unit to the body of the BraziBay.  Unscrew these.  Do not unscrew the other screws as these are for adjusting the beam direction.  If you've done so, you'll need to realign the headlamp. The lamp sits in its own frame - you remove the whole thing - headlamp and attached metalwork, to change the bulbs.

Ah. Thankyou. Lord only knows which way we're facing now then!!

Indeed he does my child!

A beam of light will show you the way.

Watch out for planes trying to land with your new runway lights!

Lol. If only I'd managed to fit them. Hold that thought until tomorrow's update. Just very excited to see the dash today

They're just called Phillips X-treme vision +130% H4 (twin pack).

1. Go to powerbulbs.com
2. Select UK and Ireland
3. Select Volkswagen
4. Select model - Golf Mk1 (1974 - 1991)
5. Select H4 bulb

The bulb in our Kombis is the same as fitted to Mk1 Golfs.

I also accepted the free gift of the W5W side light bulbs, as we still have orange lenses on the side repeater lights.

Thanks Bumble - really appreciate the help

Realy bright idea to wait until they have an offer on - it appears to happen regularly

As Winter approaches you may wish to upgrade your bulbs.....
