To replace the mirror bulb on a Volkswagen Golf, first move the glass of the mirror by levering it from its housing to detach it. Once the glass is removed, you will have access to the screws that secure the cover, which must be removed by unscrewing these screws.

When the cover is removed, you can disconnect the underlying connectors and remove the light unit present on the mirror.

Once the light unit is detached, you can also remove the bulb inside it, replacing it with a new one and refitting the mirror.
