Are they easy to install? Easy to remove the originals?

Hey Garry, I purchsed these and put them on my 2004 passat. They look great and do fit just right. Like most german cars things arnt as easy as they would seem. There are some great videos on youtube that go over each step to replacing the headlights. I did this on my own in my driveway. It took about 3 hrs. The hard thing is that you have to remove the bumper to pull the old out and put the new in. It just takes time. I would recommend looking at some videos on youtube before comitting. But it is possible to do this on your own. Hope that helps. I also sealed them with silcon glue before putting them in to prevent water from getting in.

"Easy" is relative. It was easy for me but I've worked on cars for a long time. I wouldn't suggest this repair for a novice; but removal and installation is pretty straightforward.

hello.. had vw garage replace them - charged me $125 - i don't know excatly what he did, but took one guy a long time - noticed he had it up on the rack couple times - think he took around 3 hrs - guess they gave me a break $- thinking about it, l imagine he had to aline the correct beam angles etc., etc., removed part of the panels. but that part should be easy - but all i can tell you.. they do look 'great' - should have done it earlier as they were becoming very cloudy on the inside also. and that worried me.. and the polish cleaner wouldn't really clean them- they mentioned they do remove them (depending)..and put on the grinder to polish them for $60 - chow hello.. had vw garage replace them - charged me $125 - i don't know excatly what he did, but took one guy a long time - noticed he had it up on the rack couple times - think he took around 3 hrs - guess they gave me a break $- thinking about it, l imagine he had to aline the correct beam angles etc., etc., removed part of the panels. but that part should be easy - but all i can tell you.. they do look 'great' - should have done it earlier as they were becoming very cloudy on the inside also. and that worried me.. and the polish cleaner wouldn't really clean them- they mentioned they do... » Read More hello.. had vw garage replace them - charged me $125 - i don't know excatly what he did, but took one guy a long time - noticed he had it up on the rack couple times - think he took around 3 hrs - guess they gave me a break $- thinking about it, l imagine he had to aline the correct beam angles etc., etc., removed part of the panels. but that part should be easy - but all i can tell you.. they do look 'great' - should have done it earlier as they were becoming very cloudy on the inside also. and that worried me.. and the polish cleaner wouldn't really clean them- they mentioned they do remove them (depending)..and put on the grinder to polish them for $60 - chow « Show Less

You have to remove the bumper skin and the wheel-well liners, I think. Its been several years. If you search you-tube someone will have a video showing what comes off. I wouldn't say they are "easy" to remove/install but it wasn't rocket science either. I think it took me a couple hours... if you don't include the time I spent messing around with the messed up angle adjustment boss that I received.

Hi chris5969, as I installed mine, everything came to remove the old and replace with the new with no problems at all. I'm sure you'll do the same.

No, actually pretty easy. Follow the directions and have a heat gun to loosen the old adhesive. Took me about a half hour the first time I did it. Make sure you peel off ALL the backing from the screen before installing. There was a protective film on Both sides. I forgot to remove both and screen looked cloudy in sunlight. Had to take back apart and redo. All in all an easy kit though.

Sorry about the delay in getting back. Yes they are easy to install, just hold the pin in and slide original out.

These are the same mounting as the originals. No problem attaching them at all.

I never had a problem with them before, the product itself is great and is the only one I like and continue to use among all other brands. So easy to install and not easy to be removed unless you want to remove it.

Sorry no idea. How do they compare with what needs replacing? They are so inexpensive - if they look like the originals it is probably worth a try. Good luck!

Yes they are. They were plug-n-play and I was pleased with how easy they were to install. Couple of wrenches and about 30-40 minutes and you're done. :-)

Good Morning,These are VERY easy to install, as long as you have a couple of simple tools. A flat bladed screwdriver, and a pair of pliers should do the trick.PLUS, you are taking apart and installing PLASTIC connectors, so be sure to take your time when pulling them out, and putting them back into the holes.Hope that helpsRegardsChuck

worked great for me. getting the originals out was an issue cuz they had them soldered in. once i got the new ones installed they worked great.

Very easy. all you need is a ballpoint pin to push the spring down then pull the old ones off. then push the new ones on.

They are relatively easy to remove. Certainly a lot easier than the original manufacturer's label on the original bottle that we use to bottle our wine.

Yes, installing is easer than taking the old one out. Just make sure it is the same size, like for like.

Yes, they were easy to install and I adjusted them according to the instructions that came with the blocks. They work great, much better than the original blocks.

Yes they are that's one of things I really like about them. They are also very easy to install. I've had mine for 5 years and they still look like they did the day I installed them.

Yes they can be easily removed and replaced. Very important that the mounting surface be flat and clean Eastern Goods

Yes. It takes a tenth of a second to remove. A few seconds to install. Seriously.
