The best & only video I found to help in locating/removing the drl bulb. Halfords guy gave up after some effort. Since then, a kind mechanic made me aware of the MOT manual which shows the DRL can be masked/deactivated (call it what you like) and it can't fail on this basis, if prior to 2018 model.

I found your video & description to be very comprehensive & clear, especially the need to face fwd & use your right hand for the front nearside bulb. Thanks again.

I'm halfway there, i.e., I managed to remove the burnt-out bulb and order a new one. Without your video, I wouldn't make it, so I'm joining the group of those who are grateful to you. Funny thing, the factory manual doesn't say anything about how to get to this bulb or the front turn signal.

bless you!!

Phew! I'm glad that's over. Your video certainly helped, but my sausage fingers would not go in far enough to be able to remove it. I ended up taking the head lamp out. I remember the days you could change a bulb at the roadside.
Oh yeah Skoda wanted £36 for the bulb today 😲

You sir are amazing, problem with the drl this morning and followed your instructions and hey presto fixed 👍

Hi John, Thank you for taking time to make this video. It is very helpful 👍

Thanks John. Super fiddly and awkward angle, got there in the end after managing to dislodge the clips around the back of the light!

Thanks for your video, I couldn’t get my hand inside to turn it, had to ask my neighbour . Bulb cost £19.99 euro car parts.

Well without your video I would have been stuck as it seems no one else on YouTube covers replacement of this bulb. Does anybody remember the “good old days” when a replacement vehicle sidelight was just a few pence. John paid £23 for this bulb, I managed a place that was £13. Car manufacturers now manage a variety of different bulbs which ensures part sales manage one huge rip off.

Thank you John - its really difficult access and your video helped me!

Thanks John When I did that side I had to take the fuse box cover off to get a littele more room but just managed it

Had this replaced by dealer a couple of years ago. They took the bumper off and charged well over £100. This time I found your video, ordered online for a fraction of the cost. Much appreciated. Tried your amazon link but 'unavailable'.

Thanks for the video. Just changed both daytime running lamps. I would add not to try and turn the lamp holder anti clockwise. Instead simply wiggle lamp holder and pull. There are 2 clips Moulded on to the lamp holder that slot into place when offered up correctly. Twisting will not release the clips, only strain your wrists. Hope this helps 😊

Reminds me of changing headlight bulbs on my old 05 Focus. Had to change one before a setting off to Scotland, the air was blue 😊

Thanks for this video, great help, was really tricky getting my fingers to do the counterclockwise rotate, in the end i think it just needed to be wiggled and pulled, got there in the end, and putting it back was also tricky but its just seamed to push into place and that was it :)

Thank you sir, greetings from Sweden.

You do not need to replace your daytime running lights as it is not a legal requirement, so if you cannot afford the £23 then don't install any. I would go as far as remove the working one so that it looks the same. Well done for the Video it was also very helpful.

Спасибо! Единственное полезное видео по замене лампы дхо.

[chrisvernon]

Thanks for this. Do you know the model of bulb? From what I can make out, the PHILIPS PW24W 12182HTRC1 should do it?
