VW Golf Mk1 Headlamp Replacement

Post

Back to the top
I moved to Cyprus on retirement and brought my 1990 VW Golf Mk1 Cabriolet with me.

18 months ago, just after washing the car, I watched the LHS headlamp glass lens fall out and smash on the concrete.  I removed the headlamp and went to the local VW dealer who did not have a replacement and sent me to a VW breaker.  His first comment was :  “I suppose you have lost the spring?”.  I had not and he offered me a 30 year old headlamp for 100 Euros which I declined.

On next visiting the UK I got a replacement from eBay.  I did not have time to fit it on my return to Cyprus before unexpected having to leave.  I am due back soon.

The upshot is that after 18 months I cannot remember where the spring should be fitted!  Does anyone have a photograph or diagram which might help or can you explain where it should go?

Any help appreciated.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.
