Replacement of Front Headlight Bulb

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

Obtain the suitable bulbs for your vehicle. Open the bonnet and release the rear retaining spring of the headlamp assembly using a screwdriver. Pull the entire headlamp assembly outwards and disconnect the connectors. Remove the bulb holder clip and take out the old bulb. Insert the new bulb, taking care not to touch the glass with your hands. Refit the bulb holder in its housing and secure it with the spring. For replacing other bulbs, follow the same procedure. Carefully reassemble the lighting group in the vehicle's housing. Repeat the same operation with the other unit. Check the operation by switching on the headlights.
