    Grill not clipping into bumper

    Oh you mention a good point. Slightly bent clip on the grill or bracket on the bumper. I stared at it for 2 hours, I couldn’t pinpoint it

    Grill not clipping into bumper

    Driving me nuts. Passenger side of the grill keeps slowly slipping away from the bumper….i get the grill seated in place, bolt it down, and then it slides out. I don’t see anything that can be broken to cause this. Yes someone hit my car and broke the headlight (which I’m getting fixed soon)...

    Super confused about headlight options

    Thats what I’m wondering about too then. Are there LEDs for the DRL and is that another part I need to order, or are the LEDs part of the headlight assembly? If it’s another part, what’s the part number?

    Super confused about headlight options

    My DRL is not working, what parts do I need to change? Just the DRL module, or DRL module and other parts? Is that OSRAM bulb not part of the DRL?

    Super confused about headlight options

    If my DRL is not working, what part do I need to change? The DRL module 4G0907697G or part OSRAM 66340HBI OEM…or both?

    Passenger Headlight Rear Bolt

    That bolt comes out, it’s not captive. Does it need to fully come out, eh maybe idk, but I was able to get it out. What I did was also remove the bumper bolts along the bottom of the car (7 bolts) to create more wiggle room for the bumper itself. Then there was enough room for the passenger...

    Super confused about headlight options

    So I took off my cracked headlight and looked inside the DRL chamber and look what I found (see photo) - nvm I guess this isn’t the DRL chamber but the OSRAM HID bulb chamber, DRL module is actually underneath the headlight assembly and not in this chamber Why does my DRL module say OSRAM on...

    Super confused about headlight options

    My DRL is toast. Seems that the DRL module doesn’t come with the OEM headlight assembly and would be an added cost. For OSRAM, tbey include all modules and bulbs, I think.

    Super confused about headlight options

    If I buy the OEM 5GM941754A, does that assembly come with a DRL module and all the other bulbs? -DRL module apparently has a part number of 4G0-907-697-F, I think? -8K0941597E ballast -5N0941329 power module for cornering light -8N0953053 turn signal -N10320102 high beam -N10721805 low beam I...

    Passenger Headlight Rear Bolt

    I must be wedged against the bumper then (I’m doing the partial bumper removal as opposed to taking off the whole bumper) There’s only one electrical connector and 7 bolts holding this thing in That rear bolt, the side of the bumper bolt, and then the two front ones as well as the 3 bolts for...

    Passenger Headlight Rear Bolt

    I’ve heard this rear bolt only needs to be loosened, not removed?

    Super confused about headlight options

    Super confused about headlight options

    Super confused about headlight options

    Hey I have a 2017 MK7 GTI SE with what I think are bixenon headlights. I need to buy a new set of aftermarket ones because the passenger side assembly cracked due to a hit and run. Which aftermarket headlight options make the most sense, ideally <$500? This topic confuses the heck out of me...

    Passenger Headlight Rear Bolt

    Is the rear most bolt on the passenger headlight assembly a captive one? See attached. I unscrew and unscrew and it never popped out so thought it might be captive?

    Exploded Bleeder Block

    Let's put aside what happened on my car for a second, I'm just asking what would happen if you were taking apart an intact bleeder valve: I'm asking this: if you were to take an intact bleeder valve off of a MK7 and remove the bleeder screw (metal) and plastic hex shaped thing by hand, would...

    Exploded Bleeder Block

    Let me ask it like this. what keeps the yellow restrictor in place? Does the top plastic hex keep it in place or is the yellow restrictor kept in place another way? Doesn’t the yellow restrictor sit in place on the right hand side of the valve, away from the plastic nut in the middle port?

    Exploded Bleeder Block

    Hey, I inspected the broken bleeder valve and noticed there was no yellow restrictor (see pic)??? Do you think that it not being there means it either broke or was removed or would you expect it to also get dislodged since threaded metal piece and the plastic hex piece popped out? Do those hold...
