Have you noticed that the bulbs in your Tiguan are blown? Let's see how to replace them. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard.

Once you find the inspection cover of the headlight (located at the rear of the headlight), remove it. Pull the bulb holder out of the headlight and disconnect the blown bulbs using a screwdriver. Fit the new bulbs (always the correct type and size); insert the bulb holder back into the headlight.

Close the headlight with the black plastic cover. Test the bulbs to ensure they are working by turning the light switch.
