This tutorial shows how to remove the front headlamp of a Volkswagen Golf Mk5, produced from 2003 to 2008. Before removing the three screws that hold the headlamp in place, you need to remove the radiator grille by unscrewing its two screws located at its ends with a T5 Torx key. Once this is done, you can use the same key to remove the screws of the headlamp, which are three in total: one at the top, one at the front, and one located behind the bumper trim, which will also need to be removed.

Once all screws are removed, disconnect the headlamp wiring to take it out.
