To replace the front headlight bulb on a Škoda Octavia, open the bonnet to access the screws that secure the headlight from the top: once these are loosened, you will need to detach the grille so that you can lever and extract the headlight from its housing.

At this point, you can remove the internal protective cover of the headlight, allowing you to extract the bulb from its socket and replace it with a new spare part; after replacement, you can refit the headlight.
