Have you blown a front headlight bulb? Here’s how to remove them on the Volkswagen Up. Open the front 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. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull out the bulb holders from the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver.

Fit the new bulbs (ensuring they are the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight.

Check if the bulbs are working.
