Replacing Interior Light Bulbs with LED Model

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

The tools needed for this replacement are simple plastic spatulas to detach the various light fittings. It is important to note that LED bulbs, unlike incandescent ones, have a polarity that must be respected: if the bulb does not light up when first inserted into the socket, rotate it 180°.
Having made this clear, proceed by detaching the rear light fitting from the headlining, removing the original bulb and replacing it with the LED one; do the same for the front light fitting, the courtesy lights under the sun visors, and the scuff plate (in this case, you need to open the bulb holder to replace the bulb).
Perform this operation also for the rear number plate lights.
