Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the indicator lights on the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 by following simple steps that will guide you in managing your vehicle correctly. If you start the engine and turn the steering wheel left and right, a message should appear on the display indicating that the lights are not functioning.

If the problem persists, you need to replace the indicator lights. The bulbs in question are H7 12V, which can be easily purchased, either on Amazon or from an authorised spare parts dealer.

To replace them, open the bonnet, remove the protective cover, then reach in and pull out the bulb. Do the same for the other front headlamp of the vehicle.

Replace the old bulb with a working one. Test the functionality.
