If the main beam headlamp bulb on the Volkswagen Golf blows, a warning light will illuminate on the central display. Replace the bulb as soon as possible for your safety and to avoid penalties.

Open the bonnet of the engine compartment and stand in front of the headlamp containing the bulb to be replaced; inside the headlamp, you will find a rubber cover. Remove this cover to access the burnt bulb.

Pull it out and disconnect the electrical connector. Take the new bulb, being careful not to touch the glass bulb with bare fingers, position it in its socket and secure it. Reinsert the connector and replace the rubber cover.
