Introduction

This guide will help you prevent these easily avoidable accidents by teaching you how to replace the headlight bulb in your 2010-2014 Volkswagen Jetta.

Am I missing something? Or is there a trick to those tabs to release the bulb?
They are a pull to release mechanism. no need to undo tabs.
Don’t forget to wear gloves when handling halogen light bulbs!
Where’s the driving lights?
The Low Beam bulb is the one next to the side marker:
I installed the new bulb but it still doesn’t work. My neighbor, a retired mechanic came to help and undid both and put back and now, both headlights don’t work. Any other advice?
