How to replace the headlight bulb of the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Headlight bulb

Let's see the information that will allow us to disassemble and replace the headlight bulb of the Volkswagen Golf. First, we open the car's engine hood and start by removing the plastic protective cover of the bulbs; then we disconnect the electrical connector and release the metal clip to remove the light (in some models there is a bulb holder to be removed together with the bulb), as shown in the video. At this point, we install the new low beam bulb, with the same fitting, adjusting the height of the light beam if necessary.
