Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Tail light bulb

Today we will discover the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the bulbs and the rear light of the Volkswagen Golf. First, we open the rear hatch of the trunk and start removing the side panel to access the inside of the headlight; then we unscrew the fixing screw and disconnect the electrical connector of the bulbs, as shown in the video. At this point, we separate the bulb holder from the light fixture to replace the brake lights, replacing either the entire taillight; we reassemble and connect the headlight, checking the operation of the brake lights!
