Disassembly of the front headlight of the Volkswagen Tiguan MK1

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Headlight

Finding ourselves in the need to disassemble the front headlight of the Volkswagen Tiguan, let's see how to proceed. We open the hood of the engine compartment, place ourselves in front of the headlight to be removed, operating inside we disconnect the electrical connector using a small screwdriver. With a Torx T30 key, we unscrew the four screws on the upper bracket of the headlight and one on the back of the headlight, with the same key but equipped with an extension we unscrew the screw that we find in the hole between the headlight and the grille and recover it with a magnet. We can remove the headlight by moving the bracket and pulling it towards us.
