We will briefly go through the steps to remove and replace the headlight bulb of a Volkswagen Golf. First, open the vehicle's bonnet and start by removing the plastic protective cap for the bulbs located behind the front light; then disconnect the electrical connector of the light by releasing the metal clip to remove the light, as shown in the video.
