My driver side cornering light bulb went out and so I replaced it. Not sure what I did wrong but the main headlights now flicker on and off intermittently. Could it be something I did? I opened the little black circle and everything looks nice and tight. Any clues?

What bulb came out and what bulb did you replace it with?

Can a front bumper from a 2018 GTI or similar year fit my TSI mk7.5? realistically I think it would.

fwiw this is why I've learned to always orient everything to the car itself with front being the obvious then L/R off that.

I asked about cost of maintenance a few pages back as my wife likes to get maintenance done at the dealer - at least while under warranty. The dealer we're getting the car from has quoted us $1795 for the first 8 services. We know that the 40 and 80k services are expensive, with dealers seemingly charging $600 for those services - so $1200 for those two, leaves about $600 for the remaining 6 services.
On first blush, this doesn't sound too bad, but - does anybody have any idea what the costs for the pre-paid plan actually is for negotiation purposes?

Is there a way to prepay and avoid inflation? I didn’t know that was a thing
That's pretty in line with what I've paid for service in the past, but doesn't sound like they're giving you much of a pre payment discount. See if you can get them down to $1500. Also worth asking if that's the VW scheduled maintenance or the "dealer schedule".

I did that with my wife's Civics. Far easier that having to go look for coupons and going to various dealers. A few other interesting tidbits - maintenance contracts are not taxed, so you don't pay tax (or shop or other fees) when you get the service - you drive in, say, I need the 30k service (or whatever) and they do it without you ever having to touch your wallet - it shows up attached to your car when they pull it up in the computer.
BTW, if anybody needs a maintenance contract for Honda/Acura or extended warranty, then I can point you in the direction of two online places to buy it.

It is for VW scheduled maintenance. For Honda, I always printed out the requirements for each service and coordinated with the service advisor when I brought the car in.
