How to replace the headlight switch of the Volkswagen Golf VI

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we will see how to replace the headlight switch of the Volkswagen Golf VI: it is the knob located on the left side of the steering wheel, used to turn on and adjust the headlights of the car (unless they are set to "automatic", if the model has this feature). Press the button all the way in and then pull it towards you with force: the knob is a single piece, so it comes off all together. On the back, we find an electrical connector that we disconnect. We can find the simplest model of this component, for example on Amazon with the code B0CP4RMBCH at a price of 48.99 euros, with free delivery. For the installation, we will proceed in the reverse direction. Connect the electrical connector and press gently inwards. Operation completed.
