Changing Bulbs
A few people have asked about changing the various bulbs in the TT.
Its a 5 minute job, all you typically need is a Philips Screwdriver.
MAKE SURE THE IGNITION IS OFF AND LIGHT SWITCHES ARE ALSO OFF BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS!
See my advice on a TT Toolkit!
The following will show you what to do at the battery side as the opposite side is much easier.
Remove the Philips screws holding the covers, 1 behind the water bottle and 3 on the battery cover.
On the battery side you may find the battery earth lead and a wiring loom connector are restricting the light cover from opening. The loom connector sits in a plastic housing on the wing. Its just clipped in and can be pulled out with some force.
Once out, you can open the spring clip on the back of the lamp and ease the cover back.
NOTE: Although the covers are slid away from the wing for access they are fiddly to reseat.
Once the main backing cover spring clip is pushed over and the cover withdrawn, a smaller spring clip inside must be pushed over to release the main beam H7 and parking light bulb holder.
Simply pull the H7 or twist the sidelight bulb and refit the replacement.
Towards the wing is the Xenon bulb holder which requires a
twist to release..
REAR BULBS
Open the side flap in the boot
Inside there are 2 knurled knobs top and bottom, they are near the flap opening on the inside....undo both of these.
Pull the cluster straight back away from the car, the outer edge is held by a ball joint which will pop out with a little effort.
It'll come out a few inches then disengage the wiring loom from its socket, just pull it off.
2 Philips screws hold the bulb holder onto the light cluster, remove the entire bulb holder and change your bulb.
