If the bulb illuminating your car's number plate is blown, you risk a fine in case of a checkpoint, so it's important to know how to replace it when it fails. In the Volkswagen Golf 7, the light unit is held in place by a simple clip mechanism and can be easily detached.

Once the light unit is removed, you can take out the blown bulb and replace it with a new one. Before refitting the light unit, turn on the lights and check that the new bulb works correctly and is not faulty.
