In this video we can see how to replace the turn signal lights of a Volkswagen Tiguan: as the youtuber explains, it is not necessary to remove the headlight assembly from the vehicle, but he did it only for a better view of the operations. In this case, we are dealing with the so-called "turn signal light", which illuminates at the corner of the vehicle, in order to have a better view when driving in the dark and approaching a curve.

We need to remove a white cover tab, pressing it until a white ball comes out, then we turn and pull until we extract the entire unit, from which we will replace the 5W5 bulb or equivalent. We replace it, take the tab and put it back in place by inserting it into the hole, then lock it with its tab, and that's it.
