To replace the rear light bulb of the Volkswagen Golf, open the tailgate to access the components located inside the boot: here, you will need to detach the side carpet corresponding to the light containing the bulb to be replaced. Underneath the carpet, you will find a knob that must be manually loosened to extract the light from its housing: once the light has been removed, you can pull out the bulb inside and replace it with a new spare part.
