H7 Headlamp - W21W DRL Bulb Issue. Be Aware

[stupot]

Got the F version from a Cali owner who upgraded to factory LED. Only 90 quid! Everyone running Twenty20 LED bulbs in the H7 DRLs still bobbing along error free?

I know this was a while ago but did you manage to fix the issue this way?

I know this was a while ago but did you manage to fix the issue this way?

I’d just read about the problem and the VW Fix (bulb holder with fly leads rather than connections when the holder twists in). I got the headlights second hand and no sign of a problem but while on the bench I thought easier to apply the fix. Worked fine since installation and no problems whatsoever.

Yank the wires from below with vice grips one at a time.
Take holder apart. Used vice grips to keep from stabbing my self.
One hour, done.
Fits back in original place. I used long vice grips to place down there.
Yes and take top of airbox out like described above.
Cheers
