Before starting, open the bonnet of your Volkswagen Golf. Begin by unscrewing and removing the upper fixing screws with a Torx T25. After this, remove the front cover to expose the bolts securing the headlight. Next, remove the lower air intake located near the headlight by simply unclipping it. This will give you access to all the headlight fixing bolts, which you need to unscrew and remove.

Once all bolts are removed, extract the headlight from its housing, then disconnect the corresponding electrical connector to complete the removal.
