Scirocco R (pre facelift) DRL replacement

Post by SciroccAndRoll »

Hi guys,

First time posting here and first time Scirocco owner. I've just bought some new DRL bulbs due to one of my current ones failing. I've figured out how to remove the grilles surrounding the DRL but I can't find much information on how to do the actual swapping of the bulbs. Could anyone point me in the direction of this info or give me some tips on how to do it properly? (I'm not very well versed in car electronics, but I'm learning, so please bear that in mind)

Thanks in advance!

On the R the DRLs are LED units, so there are no bulbs to replace. If they fail you replace the whole unit. I think the units are held in by a small torx screw located underneath the LED unit. After you remove the screw, the unit pops out and you unplug it and plug in the replacement, replace the torx screw and grill.
