Open the hood and locate the back of the headlight of the Volkswagen Jetta, where the protective cover is located. Unscrew the cover counterclockwise to remove it and access the bulb.

Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb, making sure not to force it to avoid damage. Next, release the securing clip that holds the bulb in place.

Remove the old bulb and replace it with a new one. Once the new bulb is inserted, reattach the securing clip, reconnect the electrical connector, and put the protective cover back on by screwing it clockwise.
