These short and simple steps will show us how to disassemble and replace the low beam and high beam bulbs of the Volkswagen Golf. First, we open the hood of the car and start removing the plastic cover protecting the bulbs, located behind the headlight; then we disconnect the bulb holder along with the bulb, separating the light, as shown in the video.

At this point, we install the new low beam or high beam bulb, of the correct type and with the same attachment (in this case, H7); finally, we reassemble the bulb holder and check its operation!
