This video tutorial illustrates, step by step, the entire procedure for removing and replacing the bulb located inside the glove compartment of your Volkswagen Golf 6. After opening the glove box, use a thin, pointed object (like a screwdriver) to unclip and remove the plastic cover of the light fitting that contains the bulb of interest.

Next, press the two clips that will allow you to slide out the bulb holder, which will need to be opened in two before extracting the bulb.

At this point, insert your new bulb and reassemble everything, following the same steps of disassembly in reverse.
