Removing the Headlight Bulbs of a Golf 5

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Headlight bulb

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.
