Removing the Front Headlight on Volkswagen Golf 7

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Headlight

Lift the bonnet and place the support rod in position. First, you need to remove the bumper, starting with the two T25 screws that secure the grille. Once this is removed, take off the grille and unscrew the three T30 screws underneath. Now unscrew the four T25 screws located in both wheel arches, then move to those securing the front bumper from underneath and proceed to remove it. This requires a bit of patience and skill: use a flat screwdriver to gently detach it from its housing, bit by bit. Unscrew the four bolts securing the headlight and disconnect it.
