Hello

To better assist you do you have the single bulb or two bulb headlight system.

Hello The information you requested. Headlight bulb, removing and installing Fig. 6: Removing & Installing Headlight Bulb (Golf & Jetta)

Removing o Remove tie-wrap (if installed) from headlight connector. o Remove headlight connector. o Twist bulb holder lock ring counter-clockwise approx. 1/4 turn and remove. o Pull bulb holder from headlight housing and remove bulb from socket. Installing NOTE: Do not touch bulb glass with bare fingers. Skin oil will evaporate when bulb gets hot, dulling reflector and/or damaging bulb. o Insert new bulb into holder. o Align lugs on bulb holder with grooves in reflector housing and install holder into housing. o Install bulb holder lock ring and twist 1/4 turn clockwise to lock. o Install headlight connector and new tie-wrap. o Check headlight aim.
