How do you replace the front headlamp and bulbs on a Jetta? This operation is not too complicated; let's look at the disassembly. Open and lift the boot lid of the luggage compartment, and use a lever to remove the plastic cover on the side of the boot.

Unscrew the retaining pins located at the back of the rear headlamp using a screwdriver. Once the headlamp is free from any constraints, disconnect it from the bodywork (disconnect the relevant power connectors).

Replace the damaged bulbs with equivalent parts of the same size and voltage. Reconnect the electrical connectors before mounting the headlamp back onto the bodywork.
