DIY: Volkswagen MKIV HVAC Light Bulb Replacement

Video tutorial on how to replace the light bulb located in the heater, ventilation, and air conditioning control switches/panel in a VW MK4 Golf, Jetta, Bora, or Beetle. There is only one bulb that lights up the whole panel and there is no need to remove the panel for replacement. This particular tutorial was done on a 2004 Volkswagen Golf TDI.
