How to replace the courtesy light bulb in a Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Interior dome light bulb

In this tutorial, you will learn how to replace the courtesy light bulb in a Volkswagen Golf, a very simple and quick operation. First, go inside the cabin, then ensure that the key is not inserted, and by prying along the perimeter, detach the cover of the ceiling light. Next, grasp the faulty bulb, pull it out, and separate it from the bulb holder. At this point, simply insert the replacement and reassemble everything. Avoid touching the glass of the new bulb directly with your bare hands, as any residue can cause it to overheat.
