Post by Godderz23 »

I had that on mine dude but in my case the lense was also slightly cracked so I ended up changing the whole unit.
I have replace both sides in the last 12 months, 1 due to it being cracked plus the dirt build up and I broke the other one when fitting my 6000K bulbs.

They are £27.00 each from VW, I think that included VAT too.

You could try taking them out and have a go at cleaning the inside but that could be pretty difficult.
