Let's see how to change the bulbs in the front headlight of a Volkswagen Tiguan: open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard, and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection cap of the headlight (at the rear of the headlight) and remove it. Pull out the bulb holder from the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver.

Fit the new bulbs (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing.

Refit the inspection caps that were removed earlier. Test the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.
