Video tutorial

This video shows how to change a standard halogen bulb in the front headlight of a Skoda Octavia: Open the front bonnet, and you will see there is plenty of space to reach the headlight where you need to change the bulb. You will find a rubber cap that you need to turn a quarter turn to open, revealing the bulb connectors with their wiring.

Remove the burnt-out bulb and replace it with the new one, taking care not to touch the glass with bare hands: by doing this, the bulb will last much longer. Reattach the wiring and close the rubber cap. Operation completed.

Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
