Low beam defective cost?
Hello,
Unfortunately, the left low beam on my Polo 6N (1998) is broken today.
The parking lights and high beam work perfectly. Do you think only the low beam bulb is defective? And how much does it cost to have a new one installed at the workshop (H4 bulb). Best regards
At the polo you should be able to change the incandescent lamp yourself, the incandescent lamps are available at any petrol station and only a few euros.
If you don’t trust yourself, it should make a good workshop for free as a service.
See if there’s a guide on Youtube.
with craftsmanship, it goes itself.
Tutorials find at YT, ne H4 pear in the construction market.
a workshop, as I would give me a quote, no idea at what price the H4 sells, the installation goes quite fast.
10 workshops – 10 prices
There are two incandescent filaments in an H4 incandescent lamp. So if your passing beam is defective, the incandescent lamp must be renewed even if the driving beam is still working. With your VW Polo, the change should still be done. The workshop can then check the headlight setting if the geometry is not correct.
My tip to you: also change the right side (can lift the used lamp as a replacement lamp). After all, it goes to the dark season there is good light and visibility important!
The pear (if it is a halogen bulb, of which I look out at a polo times) costs less than 10€. The installation should be quite simple, good workshops make the freeze or for a 5… look if you or someone from the circle of friends can’t do it yourself.
H4 is always halogen
… had written the asking, right.
Son ne Birne is changed in less than 5 minutes. Engine hood, open cover from the lamps, remove plugs from the corresponding pear, release hold wire, unbroken pear, new pear in and then execute the steps in reverse order.
with many cars, yes –
in some cases it is already necessary to carry out more effort, to remove lamp, or parts from the engine compartment; then it takes much longer
for the B Corsa Diesel, for example, the light machine must be removed from 🙂
You buy the bulb in the gas station and plug it in yourself. Continuous 5min
But if only the passing beam does not work, but normally the driving beam and the standing light, it should only have the light bulb of the passing beam and nothing to do with the control unit – right?
The old tube has no control units for the light
Oh, okay.
Because that’s a problem with your car, and you’re buying the pear in the workshop, it’s what the workshop usually does. With us it always means “throw something into the tip bank and is good”. I usually need 1 AW to change the pear. Depending on the hourly rate between 6 and 15 euros.
Maximum 10 if you do it yourself
Buy and exchange new pear.
You’re lucky if it’s just the pear you’ll be charged a few euros for the pear and make the work free.
