Remember, to avoid damaging the bulb of your Skoda, never touch the glass with your fingers. Open the bonnet; you can access the bulbs (main beam, dipped beam, and side lights) from the cap near the headlight unit in the engine compartment.

Remove it to access the main/dipped beam bulb. Disconnect the connector, then release the metal spring to remove the bulb.

When refitting, ensure the correct orientation, then close the spring and reconnect the connector. Next to it is the connector for the side light bulb.

Pull it out to remove the bulb, which is secured by a bayonet fitting. Simply pull it to extract it. Use the same method to refit it into its housing.

Close the cap. Next to it is the indicator bulb. Rotate it a quarter turn and pull it out. To remove the bulb, turn it a quarter turn.

To refit it, repeat the procedure in reverse.
