How do you replace the front headlights of the Volkswagen Golf 6?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Headlight

We want, like the protagonist of the video tutorial posted, to install an aftermarket headlight kit on our Volkswagen Golf 6, or do we need to perform maintenance, clean the glass, or something else? Well, let's observe and understand what needs to be done: We open the front hood, unscrew the locking screws of the grille on which the emblem of the car manufacturer is mounted, we proceed with the removal of the locking pins of the brackets, always visible in the upper part, and finally disconnect the power cable connector, located on the back of the headlights, finishing the job by pulling them outwards to detach them from the body.
