To replace the front headlight on the Volkswagen Golf 6, open the bonnet to access the screws that secure the front bumper at the top. Next, unscrew the screws that secure the bumper from the inside of the wheel arches, completely detaching the bumper.

Once it has been removed from its housing, you can loosen the bolts that secure the headlights within their housing, disconnecting the connectors.

This way, the new headlights can be inserted and secured with the appropriate screws along with the bumper.
