How to remove the blown bulbs inside the air conditioning knobs of a Volkswagen Golf? Here’s how to do it. Use pliers to grip the air conditioning knob and pull it off (protect the knob with a cloth). Carefully extract the small bulb from its housing (be careful not to damage the new bulbs).

Replace the bulbs or LEDs with new ones. Remove the other knobs on the centre console and replace any other damaged bulbs.

Refit the knobs after replacement. Turn on the instrument panel and the lights of the Golf's knobs.
