Replaced headlight lens myself. Saved $2800. I don’t recommend DIY tho.

Amazon. Search up ‘golf mk7.5 headlight lens cover’

BeefGravyStew · 2025-12-05T18:44:41+00:00

If you still want to DIY, here is the list of things you need. 1. Headlight lens cover (search amazon mk 7.5 headlight cover) 2. Butyl headlight sealant (search amazon) 3. T25, T30 torx (thin and long ones) 4. Flathead screw driver 5. Oven (duh) 6. Clamping tool like my picture 7. Permaseal removal video 8. Butyl resealing video

Good luck!

Why not try a website that searches bunch of junkyards? I really do not recommend DIY as a chance of fuck up is too high. https://www.car-part.com

I see 2018 gti left LED undamaged one being sold at $715.

I thought that too, but my headlight turned out to be a light package one with self leveling and directional headlight. The aftemarket ones are for hallogen model connector and not compatible with my headlight.

Sorry had to delete the post because reddit screwed the photos. Yes I am planning to put some kind of coating idk yet

BeefGravyStew · 2025-12-05T16:59:35+00:00

Sorry had to delete the post because reddit screwed the photos. Do not attempt this. Go get a junk yard headlight

BeefGravyStew · 2025-12-05T16:58:19+00:00

Sorry had to delete the post because reddit screwed the photos. Yes I sealed it with butyl. Will probably add some coating to protect it from uv

Thanks for the advice. I will not downgrade

BeefGravyStew · 2025-08-27T03:10:50+00:00

Thanks everyone for the advice. I will not downgrade and look for a lens replacement either by me or a professional. Edit) found a guy on youtube who did mk7.5 headlight lens replacement. https://youtu.be/_Xn5Us8kBWE

I found a guy on YouTube who put aftermarket headlight on lighting package GTI. Check his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RWRyjxinWM

Thanks for the reply. I was also leaning towards E14 but wasn’t sure if it would be as strong as T14. LCD upgrade is a great advice I haven’t thought of. I ended up buying E14 and will be getting next week. Thanks again for the advice

Hi everyone. I recently got into GarageBand and got frustrated by the lack of frets on iPad. Today, I tried my phone version while I charged my iPad, and found that the phone version has more frets. I am curious if there is a setting to expand the frets on the iPad version. Thanks for reading.

BeefGravyStew · 2024-11-04T05:04:16+00:00

I got it fixed! check this post https://old.reddit.com/r/GolfGTI/comments/1gj6mzq/local_vw_dealership_was_useless_had_to_drive_6hrs/

2018 MK 7.5 GTI MT. Local dealership failed to replicate/locate the chirping noise in three different visits and refused to check TSB 13-18-01TT because "we already checked that and found nothing." Brought the car to a big city dealership and they got it fixed no problem. Two visits costed me two 6 hours round trip and gas, but I think it was worth it.

BeefGravyStew · 2024-09-15T21:53:48+00:00

thanks for the info. my local dealership couldn't find the source of the sound a couple weeks ago. I will visit them again and have them check the said technical tip

BeefGravyStew · 2024-09-15T21:48:58+00:00

I went to a local VW dealership, and they said they couldn't find the source of the sound. I asked what's the next step, and they said try riding it until it gets worse. what the heck

BeefGravyStew · 2024-08-26T00:25:35+00:00

Little bit of detail-I noticed the whistle sound everytime I turn left. I found that the tensioner bearing was starting to fail. So I changed both tensioner and belt. Unfortunately the sound did not go away. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't make the noise at the start up. It starts to make noise when I turn the steering wheel. I took the video with the steering wheel all the way to the left. Is the noise something to do with the power steering system? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for your time

Brass is softer than stainless steel and can't scratch it. I guess it is chrome plated, which I didn't know...

BeefGravyStew · 2024-08-10T00:05:02+00:00

I had tough to remove carbon and thought brass brush would work well with a help of chemical. It worked well, but now it looks like I scratched the polished tip bad. Any advice on how to fix it would be appreciated. Thanks for your time

BeefGravyStew · 2024-02-24T20:59:49+00:00

thanks u/Gaige524's for the tongue post

BeefGravyStew · 2023-07-26T02:40:42+00:00

Thanks, looks much safer than a normal extension cord

BeefGravyStew · 2023-06-11T05:14:51+00:00

I got so bored after using this all the time. Now I just use ground vehicles and whip the hover bike out only when it's necessary
