How do you change volkswagon headlight?
[Edit]

Under the hood of car from the back of the headlight, release/flip the two retaining wires holding the cover over the lights and remove cover, unplug the wire harness from the bulb (there is a clip on one side), remove the black retaining ring that secures the bulb in place by turning it counter-clockwise, slide bulb out from the rear, replace with new bulb (careful not to touch bulb with fingers as dirt and oil will shorten the life of the bulb), assemble in reverse manner. This is for replacing bulb only.

Note that on the driver's side there is a bulb access plate held on by two philips head screws. This side is the same as the passenger side but has very little room due to the battery cover. You may need to remove the battery cover assembly in order to get to the bulb. Be patient. Use a pair of needle nosed pliers to unclip the cover and the wire harness.

Even with the limited access both bulbs can be changed in under 30 minutes.
