How to replace the stop light bulbs of the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Tail light bulb

Today we will discover the information that will allow us to disassemble and replace the brake lights and rear headlight of the Volkswagen Golf. First, we open the rear hatch of the trunk and begin to disassemble the rear headlight; to do this, we remove the cover located behind the headlight and unscrew its screw, as shown in the video. At this point, we disconnect the electrical connector of the lights and separate the bulb holder from the light fixture, replacing any faulty bulbs with new ones (having the same attachment); finally, we check the operation of all the brake lights.
