Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Headlight

The instructions in this guide will show us how to disassemble and replace the front headlight of the Volkswagen Jetta. First, let's open the hood of the vehicle and start unscrewing all the mounting screws we find above and below the bumper; we will also unscrew the additional screws located on both sides of the front wheel wells, removing the turn signals as shown in the video. At this point, gently detach the bumper from the sides until it is completely removed, then unscrew the screws of the headlight assembly; disconnect the electrical connector of the lights to remove it and replace it with the new one, reassembling everything!
