Replacement of Front Headlamp Bulb

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Headlight

Open the bonnet and hand-tighten the protective cover of the headlamp assembly to remove it. Locate the faulty bulb and remove the retaining spring of the bulb holder from the headlamp. Take a new bulb with the same specifications and insert it into the bulb holder, aligning the two references. Be careful to install the new bulb without touching the glass bulb with your hands. Refit the bulb holder into the headlamp, ensuring the reference notch aligns, and reattach the retaining spring. Close the plastic covers securely.
