Is the front headlamp bulb on your Golf 4 blown? Let's replace it. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it. Remove the cover cap of the front headlamp (take out the metal clip). Inside, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holder out of the headlamp and extract the damaged bulb using a screwdriver.

Fit the new bulb (ensure it is the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlamp housing. Close the back of the headlamp and secure it with the metal clip.
