I notice between 2:55 and 3:00 your video was edited. How long did it take you to actually get the headlight into the cradle snugly? It seriously took my 3 hours to do it one time, I'm not looking forward to it this time :/

@tylertyler82 Remember this is only replacing the main bulb in the headlight unit. It tooks me only a minute or two to get it to sit in correctly.

Whoa, Death Anchor?! Are you by chance an F-Zero fan? :)

Nice vid!

@thetwopointslow Yes, SNES, N64 and GameCube versions.

Thanks for this video! Great explanation, took me about 10 minutes to change both headlights!

just spin the light around and once its in the right position it will slide right in. Thanks a lot i couldn't have done it without you!

Thanks for the vid man, literally went from me having no idea what to do for 10 minutes to fixed in 3 haha.

thanks so much! I thought: this should be simple enough that I can do it myself! I will wear some gloves though to keep my manicure pristine :)

Thanks for the video, I changed mine out in about 10 minutes. Saves all the $ taking it to the shop

The hardest part was placing the headlight. For less stress remove battery. Thanks to this video I knew what to expect thank you mister

Thanks! The retaining clip on the bulb on my model (1998 VW 4, 1.6 gasoline) clipped downwards instead of sideways (and was very hard to clip off - I forced it off with a screwdriver)
