How to remove the front headlight of the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Headlight

Below we will discover the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the front headlight of the Volkswagen Golf. First, we open the hood of the car and start removing the front grille, unscrewing the screws located at the top; then we unscrew the bumper screws located at the top and bottom, unscrewing the additional screws located on both sides of the fenders, as shown in the video. Once the bumper is removed, we will unscrew the headlight screws, disconnecting the electrical connector located on the back to remove it; we replace the headlight with the new one and check the operation of the lights.
