How to Remove the Position Light on Lavida?

The method to remove the position light on Lavida: Open the engine hood, you can see the headlight dust cover, open the dust cover, locate the position light, and pull it out with force. The position light on a car refers to the front and rear position lights, commonly known as small lights, similar to the side marker lights. The location of the position light varies depending on the car model. The Lavida is a compact sedan under Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The Lavida is equipped with three types of engines: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine.
I used to work on my own car frequently. Removing the Volkswagen Lavida's position lights isn't difficult, but requires careful attention. First, ensure the engine is off and the key is removed, then open the hood to locate the position lights on both sides of the front end. They're covered by small plastic caps - gently pry open the retaining clips with a flat-head screwdriver, being careful not to apply too much force as the Lavida's plastic clips are thin and prone to breaking. Next, disconnect the wiring connector which has either a small button or slot - a simple pinch will release it, but keep your hands steady to avoid pulling the wires. Then gently twist or pull out the bulb. Remember to wear gloves for better grip and avoid touching the glass surface of new bulbs with bare fingers as oils can shorten their lifespan. When reinstalling, connect the wiring first before securing the cover, and test the light before closing everything up. I once reversed this sequence which caused unstable lighting, requiring rework that wasted half an hour. Keep tools handy - while the steps are straightforward, patience is key. Extra caution is needed with older vehicles as parts become brittle, helping avoid unnecessary replacement costs.
