Good evening
I have a June 2024 Cali Coast and have already changed the H7 dip bulbs for Osram NightBreakers as the OEM are s**t as confirmed by many :). The dip change (a simple pull out/push-in fit) was relatively easy but I'm wondering about how to change the full beam bulbs. They seem to be held in place with an innovatively designed retainer as opposed to spring clipsIMG_8013.jpg. Can't figure out how it works and I don't want to force things for risk of breaking it (especially as it is difficult to access). If anyone has had the same issue/found the solution I'd be most grateful for your ? Photo below of the two retainer "clips".
 
Found it ! In fact they are H15 bulbs (rare, apparently) on the main beam. Found on another T5 site. For anyone having the same problem, they are removed by a 30 degree turn to the left after having removed the electrical connector on top (otherwise the 30 degree turn is impossible to do). Just waiting for my replacement bulbs now (Osram Cool Blue Intense up to +20% and 3700K to see if that makes a difference :)
 
It's a campervan, it shouldn't be out at night, you should be asleep in it!
 
Should ask VW to not fit headlights at all then. That would make some savings :)
