Just got my 2017 t6 back after MOT, service , cambelt and water pump change. The garage dod the MOT yesterday and it passed no problem, after the service and cambelt change the brake lights wouldn't go off. They say they have checked and didn't damage anything. Nothing shows on diagnostics...
Hi All,
Hoping soeone can help me with this one!
I trying to change the headlight bulbs in my THQ headlights however i cant for the life of me release the holder clips on either the dip or main beam, been on and age and now thick of cuts!
Is this a case of having to remlove the headlight to...
No
No Faff, the light unit just pops out with a trim tool..... Or will have two screws holding it up here, that you can see when the bulbs changed.
Easy peasy and nice bit of space up there.
Well this one was really simple stupid - dodgy bulb. New one in and sorted. In 40 years of driving I’ve never known a build to work intermittently. Confirmed it was the bulb by swapping over to the drivers side and it didn’t work there either. Oh well

Modifications - reasons to fail
18. An overlay has been applied that reduces or distorts the light emitted from the lamp (eg a tinted cover).
19. A headlamp is retrofitted with a type of light source other than that specified...
I am even not sure of that.
Do all T6.1 with halogen have the H15 bulb for DRL/Hi beam?
Do all have the W16W Stop bulb with PWM double side light and Molded -in LED foglight ?
I am honestly asking because my paper owners manual is not aware of them.
Anyway, a completely different (set of)...
Have a search for ‘H4 to H7 Upgrade’, there is a massive thread that answers every conceivable question on the subject.
In essence, it’s change the bulbs, fit H7 headlamps or fit LED headlamps. Each has pros/cons and supporters/detractors.
I had ‘exactly’ this issue last year but with side light/dipped beam (call it what you will). When I parked up one day per chance I saw the bulb flickered on then off.
Investigated and turned out to be a loose filament. It was ‘making and breaking’ on the internal contact causing the ‘blown’...
