How to Replace the Front Headlight on the Volkswagen Golf 6?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Headlight

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.

We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
