Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Interior dome light bulb

In this guide, we will see how to replace the bulb or LED in the interior light of a Volkswagen Tiguan. Use a screwdriver or plastic lever to pry between the light cover and its perimeter (without breaking the plastics), pull the plastic grille out from the light. Unscrew the screws on the plastic with a screwdriver (as shown in the video), replace the damaged bulbs with new ones (same size and voltage). Refit the plastic in its housing with the screws and grille. Test the light's functionality before refitting the piece.
