To replace the courtesy lights on a Volkswagen Golf 4, you will need a flat-head screwdriver or a similar object to use as a lever. Use it to lift the ceiling light that covers the bulbs; it will be secured by clips.

Once removed, you will have access to the bulbs, which can be pulled out of their housing simply by tugging. After removing them, insert the new bulbs and close everything with the ceiling light.

Finally, check that the new parts are functioning correctly.
