Video tutorial

The following video tutorial shows us the steps to replace the headlight bulbs of the Volkswagen Tiguan 1. The model we will use for the replacement is a 12-volt H7 bulb from the brand BOLK. We open the front hood and remove the cover on the grille side to replace the position bulb.

We grab the bulb connector and rotate it counterclockwise to remove the bulb.

We insert the new bulb and the connector into the headlight housing, rotating a quarter turn clockwise to lock the bulb and connector; we put back the plastic cover. To replace the turn signal bulb, we need to grab the holder and disconnect the connector from the bulb.

We connect the new bulb to the connector and insert it from the inside. To replace the low beam bulb, we remove the cover and pull the bulb outwards, disconnecting the connector.

We connect the connector to the new bulb and insert everything into the headlight. We mount the cover and close the hood.
