To replace the headlight bulb of the Volkswagen Golf 6, open the bonnet to remove the plastic cover located at the top of the headlamp for easier access. In the tutorial, the headlamp is removed to better demonstrate the steps, but it is not necessary to remove it. Simply take off the protective cap inside, allowing you to rotate the bulb holder and pull it out of its housing.

By removing the old bulb from the holder and replacing it with a new one, you can reinsert it into the housing and close everything with the appropriate cap.
