Replacement of Interior Bulbs with LED Model

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Accessory kit

Replacing the interior bulbs with LED ones will give the cabin a more technical and modern appearance. The operation is extremely simple and does not require special tools: a plastic lever is sufficient to detach the light units; start with the ceiling lights, first the front and then the rear: pry laterally and along the edges to detach it, remove the original bulbs (T5 fitting) and insert the LED ones, ensuring correct polarity (if it does not light up, remove it and rotate it 180°); reattach the light unit. Move on to the courtesy lights under the sun visor (driver and passenger side): detach the light unit and remove the bulb; insert the LED ones ensuring correct polarity (if it does not light up, remove it and rotate it 180°); reattach the light unit. Repeat the same operation for the bulb in the scuff plate area, on both the driver and passenger sides (be careful when removing the plastic cover of the bulb holder). Similarly, replace the bulb in the glove compartment (a screwdriver with a bent tip may be useful to detach the bulb holder).

Setting the clock to the current Italian time on an Opel Zafira model B is a very simple operation, also made easier by our short instructional video. The first step is to turn on the instrument panel and then press the SETTING button located on the central dashboard. Once inside the menu, use the buttons to navigate to the clock setting. Adjust the hours and minutes and restart the instrument panel. If the clock does not update, it may be necessary to diagnose the radio or the vehicle's control unit.
