How do you replace the headlight bulb located on a 2001 VW Golf?

Answer 1

To change the headlight bulb on a 2001 Volkswagen Golf TDi, simply reach down and unclip the bulb holder. It's part of the headlight assembly, under the hood, in behind the bulb. It honestly takes about 10 seconds to change the bulb. Just reach down and unclip it. If you want to change the one behind the battery, you'll have to remove the battery first so you can access it. Good luck. PS You do NOT have to remove the whole headlamp assembly to change the bulb contrary to what you may have been told. It's kind of a pain, but if you remove the two screws, you can take off the plastic cover that lets you get to the light assembly. Once it's off, it's kind of tight but just like doing the lights on the passenger side. Good luck
