Replacement of Front Headlight Bulb

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Headlight bulb

Open the front bonnet and remove the protective cap from the bulb holder; detach the bulb holder complete with bulb (just pull it back), extract the bulb from its holder (H7 model) and insert the new one (avoid touching the bulb with your fingers); reposition the bulb holder complete with bulb into the headlamp and perform a functionality check: if you notice a difference in brightness compared to the other headlamp, replace that one as well by repeating the procedure just described. Finally, apply the protective cap ensuring it fits correctly.
