Well, I have not received an answer to me my question yet. I guess a trip to
the VW dealer is in order. I took apart six sets of these headlights this
week and broke none. However, every single one felt like they were on the
verge of exploding into smithereens each time. I just thought there must be
an easier way to do this w/o having to use needlenose pliers and my third
hand.
