Installation Instructions for Halo Headlights in a '98 Passat
- 1). Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right to expose the fasteners in the wheel wells.
- 2). Unscrew the screws in the front wheel wells using a Phillips-head screwdriver and pull the wheel liner down.
- 3). Open the hood and remove the two screws on the top of the grille and slide the bumper forward (no need to take it completely off).
- 4). Remove the two bolts holding the headlight assembly in, and then unbolt the torx-head bolt on the bottom of the headlight (on the bracket below the headlight).
- 5). Slide the headlight housing forward and unplug the electrical connector attached to the headlight.
- 6). Slide the new halo housing into place and secure it with the factory retaining bolts. Installation of the headlight assembly is the reverse of removal.
