How do you remove the front headlight bulbs? Here’s how to take out the bulbs from the Golf 5 headlights. Lift the front bonnet, then locate the headlight cover caps (remove the cap). Once the headlight is open, you will find the bulbs with metal clips: pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver.

Install the new bulbs in the front headlight: connect the bulb holders to the bulbs, then close the headlight with its cover cap. Turn on the lights and test the new bulbs.
