Video tutorial

This video tutorial shows the procedure to replace the bulbs of the front, rear, and interior lights of a Volkswagen Up. To replace the front headlight bulbs: after opening the bonnet, there is a connector behind the headlight that you can detach by moving it slightly left and right.

After removing the connector, take out the cover seal by pulling the tabs.

To extract the bulb, pull one tab upwards and the other downwards, and the bulb will come out easily with a gentle tug. Once the bulb is replaced, secure the two clips, reattach the seal, and reconnect the connector. The procedure is very simple and quick.
