How to Remove the Front Headlight on a Volkswagen Jetta

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 6, A6 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Headlight

To remove the front headlight on a Volkswagen Jetta, open the bonnet to access the screws that secure the headlight at the top and the screws that secure the bumper. Next, unscrew the screws located inside the wheel arch, allowing the bumper to be completely removed. This will enable you to fully extract the headlight from its housing by disconnecting the connector at the rear. This will allow you to insert the new headlight and reassemble all removed parts.
