Today we will explain how to replace the headlight fuse of the Volkswagen Golf 4. The fuse is located inside the box at the left end of the dashboard. To replace the fuse, we must remove the cover of the box and using needle-nose pliers, remove the 10 amp fuse F 18. Insert a fuse with the same amperage and close the box cover.

If the bulb continues to not work, it is necessary to check the headlight connector and the bulb itself, also through computerized diagnosis.
