Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, we can see how to replace the halogen headlights on a Volkswagen Golf 7 with OSRAM full LED headlights. To remove the headlights, you must first take off the front bumper, so start by unscrewing all the screws on the top. Lift the car with a lift or hydraulic jack and place support stands underneath.

Remove all screws from the underside; once all screws are removed, pry off the plastic of the bumper, taking care not to scratch the bodywork. Disconnect the fog light connectors and the front parking sensors.

Once the bumper is off, remove the front headlights by disconnecting their connectors. After removing the headlights, replace them with the LED ones and reassemble all parts in reverse order.
