2003 Jetta Wagon Headlight Bulb Replacement

Tom, I have a Jetta GLS and so does my friend. I told her to turn around while I changed her bulb. She turned and then turned back in like a 2 seconds and I was done -- well almost --but it's that easy.

If it's the same (and I bet it is) open the hood. On the back of the bulb housing there should some wires going in. If it's a plastic ring about 1-1/2 to 2 inches in diameter, try to spin it counter clockwise. It should go just a bit and then pop off. Pull straight back. Bulbs were about $12. You don't need the whole glass front -- just the bulb.

Hope yours is the same. Good luck

The back of the headlights on the 2003 diesel are not that accessible. I will have to unscrew some coverings in order to get to the backs of those lights. And then I can repeat your magic.

Tom
