Hey guys,so my current main beam headlights are at point going too yellow that it isn't really shining more clearer for me.
I have ordered H7 Osram Nightbreaker Plus: cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBay...K:MEWNX:IT
And now i have been wondering how do you change the main beam headlights??
I found a guide on the 206 GTI page,but is there any easier way to remove the dust cover of the main beam without removing the washer bottle etc shown on the 206gti website's guide?? The guide is on this website:
206gti.net/globechange/

I have standard 206 fit headlights and the driver side headlight is covered up with dust too so i will definitely need change my bulbs.
I have noticed its really easy on my brother's Golf,and Peugeot has to make it hard on 206.
Much help appreciated. Smile

You cannot be serious Rolling Eyes

206 headlamp bulbs are one of the easiest around to change.

Go & try changing the headlamp bulbs on a Megan II, Citroen C5 or Focus, then you would have something to moan about.

You have to undo all the bolts that keep the light in and grills take the light out take the back of the light and then undo the silver clips and put the new bulb in Very Happy

Your not saying you take your headlight out to change a bulb are you?


Changing the bulbs is easy 10 min job at most and there is no need to be taking a headlight out.

So for right side just remove the washer bottle and the bulbs be easily accessible.
How about the driver side,theirs less hand room to work around with.

It's easy to change both sides. Washer neck comes off easily.

Consider yourself lucky you don't drive a Audi.

Oh lol i'm so daft some times,because i tried removing my headlight from passenger side i automatically assumed the washer bottle was in the way to unclip the dust cover.
