should be able to just open up the holder, cant reacll what it looks like!

but if its like any other in the VAG group then a CAREFUL use of a thin screwdriver will open up the catches, that are holding the covers in place should do the job and that will let you get at the bulbs......

well that's whats on my TT

so I'm guessing it's roughly the same !

They should lift/tilt up slighty giving access a silver clip, push this in (requires flat blade srewdriver & some leverage) & it should pop out.

Well thats what I did on mine.

i opened both of mine after much trouble and when i pushed them back down they're not as tight anymore, they move around a bit. i think i bent both of the clips or something.. they are hard to get out, at least on mine, i stopped many times thinking i was going to snap them off

they are a frecking b***h to take out

i had to do both of mine

no troubling ripping the things out as i used a screw driver and when you lose your temper anything seems easy but they putting them back in again caused problems, they were all lose and stuff

but problem was solved with SUPER GLUE!!!

god knows how i am going to get them out again if they blow!
