2000 jetta signal lightbulb replacement

I have a problem with a replacement of my front right side signal bulb
in my jetta 2000. Maybe somebody can tell me how to change the bulb.
Thanks.............

Hi there,

the easiest way to change the bulb is actually to pull the bumper cover off.
It takes about 5 minutes once you know where all the screws are.

There are 4-t20 torx screws in each wheel well, you'll need to turn the
wheels either way to get access to them.

The grille will pull straight out with a bit of persuasion, pull at the top
corners to unclip it. You don't need to unhook the hood latch, just let the
grille hang out of the way. Under the grille you will find five T30 screws,
and two T30's in the lower grille openings, one on each side at a 45 degree
angle pointing up into the engine bay.

Once the bumper cover is all unscrewed you can pull it straight out gently
and tilt it down. Usually I put a blanket on the driveway to rest the cover
on. When it's tilted down you'll have to be careful not to rip out the
corner light wiring, when you have access to the lights you can pull the
harness straight off the light housing and move the bumper cover somewhere
safe like onto grass.

The headlight will come off by removing four Torx bolts, I believe they are
T20's but they may be larger. There is a small door which opens to access
the turn signal bulb. Buy two, the second one usually dies soon after the
first one.

seriously?

my co-worker's '02 Jetta had this problem and I could access the bulb holder
from under the hood just fine. Was tough to get it to release though.

Once you've done it once it's a breeze, if you get a speck of crud on the
bulb it'll burn out quickly so I prefer to use this method.
