No spare bulb kit for Mk6?

[avtur]

No bulb kit in my Sept 2011 Estate, in fact I can't even find a list of bulb types in the handbook.

There's a few pages about changing bulbs starting at page 329 ... but I'm damned if I can find a list of bulb types.

Could anyone point me in the right direction ... please?

The Roomster ones were a doddle, you need to get into the back of the light cluster to change the beam setting for driving on the Continent... Pity the Golf doesn't have that facility...

My Skoda Octavia was also like this. You just removed a plastic nut behind the headlamp and pulles a lever to slide the whole headlamp assembly forward into your hands. You can then simply unplug it - or change bulbs / or move a shield to kill the UK beam kick-up. Why VW don't follow Skoda's design ideas I'll never understand. (You can also specify heated windscreens on Skodas now!)

Websites such as this give details of some of the Golf Mk6 bulbs: http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/cus...ulb_master.php
but they don't include the new H15 bulb used for the main beam/DRL (even though they do sell it!)

Is that on line ? If so could you give a link to it not the Amazon that SkimWords is pointed us to from your post.

PS > does anyone know how to disable that useless linking ?

Its strange that you list the tail lamp and stop lamp as the same bulb type as they are different wattages.

Yes you can download Accessories Brochure hold you mouse over the vehicle and click Accessories and click Save or Open.

It's strange that the kit you refer to mentions H7 headlight bulbs. but not the H15 as current . Are you shure this is the right set for cars with DRL's ? The link you post gives BROCHURE UNAVAILABLE. Anyway the price tells you it is wrong, for the Mk 6 with DLR's you need an H7 and an H15 and at web discount prices they are £32 , add the other bulbs and there is no way VW will be flogging you it for £21.50.
