    Fitting new bulbs, do i need to remove the headlight?

    The dip beam on my B6 is pretty horrendous, so before doing a full HID upgrade I thought I would try some Osram Nightbreakers. Haven't had time to fit them yet as we have a new baby but does the headlight need removing to fit them???

    Ok, had the oil changed in the box, strainer/filter was on standby. However once the car was in the air it was obvious the strainer wasn't going to be easy to change, the box would need to be vertically split, so would be very very expensive. However the oil was drained and refilled at the...
