PureTurbonium asked me where to find info on changing the bulbs in Fog lights - I suggested a couple threads and mentioned that if pictures were taken that it was definately a How-To that we should write up.

PureTurbonium emailed me a link to a really good How-To so I am merely transcribing that how-to in forum format....

Bulb type...
H1 55W - same as the low and high beam headlights

(Note this change was performed on a 2002 TDI)

Back side of driver-side fog light

note: no need to remove power cable !

Twist off back of fog light (standard right-hand-rule)

note: cable assembly will hold back of light up out of your way

Remove the wire connected to the bulb (black spade in this picture)

note: there is no need to remove the second wire (negative) connected to the bulb assembly just above the bulb

[marvins_dad]

Release the spring clip that holds the bulb in place in the bulb assembly

note: the bulb is still seated in the bulb assembly

[marvins_dad]

Remove the bulb from the bulb assembly

Insert new bulb and follow directions in reverse order
