How to disassemble the front headlight of a Volkswagen Golf IV

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

In this video, we see how it is possible to disassemble the front headlight of a Volkswagen Golf IV without having to remove the entire bumper. In fact, this model of Volkswagen, which in some markets was called "Bora," has an intelligent method for removing the headlight without the need to remove or at least loosen the entire front bumper. If we carefully observe, on the bumper, corresponding to the headlights, we see that there are small cuts: these are small doors, which - once opened - show us that inside there are the screws for fixing the headlight. By removing the screws, we can remove the headlight while keeping the bumper in place.
