Part: Headlight bulb

Let’s see how to remove the front headlight bulbs on a VW Lupo: open the engine bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it. For the replacement of the right headlight bulbs: remove the filter kit (if space is limited). Locate the inspection cap of the headlight (located at the rear of the headlight) and remove it; you will find the bulbs with metal clips. Pull out the bulb holder from the headlight and extract the damaged bulb with the help of a screwdriver. Install the new bulb (always of the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Finally, close the headlight with the inspection cap and reassemble the air kit.
