In this video tutorial, you will learn how to remove the front headlight bulb from a seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf. First, open the bonnet and remove the rubber protective cap found at the back of the headlight; then disconnect the electrical connector of the bulb and unclip the metal spring to extract the bulb along with its holder.
