To replace the number plate bulb on a Volkswagen Golf, use a tool to lever the corresponding light unit out of its housing: this will allow you to disconnect the connector and remove the bulb inside. Once the old bulb has been removed, insert the new one into the light unit, connecting it to the appropriate connector.

Finally, place the light unit back into its housing, ensuring that the new bulb is functioning correctly.
