How to change the front headlamp bulb on a Golf Mk5? Open the front bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it. Locate the rubber inspection cover of the headlamp (located at the rear of the headlamp) and remove it. You will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holder out of the headlamp 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 headlamp housing.

Reassemble all previously removed parts.
