The procedure for removing the front headlight of the Volkswagen Golf 7 involves loosening the screws that secure the grille at the front of the engine and removing it. Next, you will need to unscrew the bolts that secure the front bumper, located between its upper part, lower part, and the inner part of the front wheel arches.

After removing the bumper, you can loosen the screws that secure the headlight in its housing, disconnecting the connector at the rear and extracting it from its housing.

Once the headlight is removed, you can insert the new replacement part and reattach the bumper.

Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
