To replace the dipped beam bulb on the Volkswagen Golf 7, remove the inner wheel arch cover by unscrewing the appropriate fixing bolts. Once the bolts are removed, move the cover aside and then remove the circular cap protecting the bulb, located inside the headlight.

After the cover has been removed, disconnect the bulb from the connector by pulling it out of its housing. The new bulb can then be connected to the connector and inserted into the headlight, closing with the appropriate cover and the inner wheel arch cover.
