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

Open the boot lid and remove the fabric cover from the sides of the compartment. Once done, unscrew the retaining bolts on the side of the rear light (using a socket wrench) and remove the light from its housing (disconnect the wiring). Replace the damaged bulbs with new ones of the same voltage and size as the originals. Refit the new light, screw in the bolts, and close with the fabric cover. Test the lights to ensure they function correctly.
