The bulb is in and working! Everything is back together nice 'n' tight and nothing broke (Thank God!) Boy am I glad I take after my father It took a lot of WD-40 and a lot of wiggling of the headlight. My pointer finger on my right hand is looking kinda rough from trying to push the lever, though.

YAY!!!! saved some $$$ and no damages a bandaid won't help!
power to all the DIYers (and all the folks that keep backup DIY docs )

while going thru my garage in the last week or two, discovered my copy of the 'old' headlight replacement how-to i printed and filed away years ago...

don't remember who did it (bugmod, maybe?), but i've found it useful a time or two...

posting it again for the good of the order.

HELP!! I am trying to replace my headlight and I cannot find the lever everyone is talking about. I've looked at many "how tos" as to how to do this....such as this one http://www.cindyli.com/site/comments...ht_replacement and i still cannot find the freaking lever!
I have an 05 tdi, is there something different about this year/model that a lot of the "how tos" are different from what I need? Someone please help! It will be much appreciate by me and my Tinkerbell!
