Instructions for Dismantling Front Headlight

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Headlight

To dismantle the front headlights, you must first remove the front bumper: start by removing the central grille by unscrewing the relevant fixing screws; then remove the screws along the lower edge of the bumper and those inside the wheel arches, also removing the screws that secure the bumper edge to the wing. At this point, unclip the bumper from the sides and pull it forward, disconnecting the side indicator bulbs. You can now access the fixing screws of the headlights to unscrew them and free the headlights by disconnecting the relevant plugs.
