To replace damaged 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. Release the locking lever at the side of the headlight: unlock the headlight from inside the bumper.

Locate the inspection cap at the back of the headlight and remove it. You will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs.

Fit the new bulbs (same type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Refit the front headlight onto the vehicle.
