Let's see how to change the front headlight bulbs on a Skoda Octavia. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection cap of the headlight (located at the back of the headlight) and remove it. At this point, you will find the bulbs with plastic holders; pull the holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver.

Fit the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the holder back into the headlight housing. Refit all the holders.
