First of all, you have to understand some information about the pilot lights, also called dipped beam headlights. Unlike some traffic lights, these are mandatory. They must be at least two and work on the left as well as on the right. They must also illuminate at a distance of 30 meters without dazzling the drivers in front. If one of the lights on the Volkswagen Bora doesn't work, you risk a fine of 68 euros. Obviously, it is initially for safety reasons that it is essential to replace them when they no longer work. Now let's see how to replace these low beam headlights on the Volkswagen Bora, step by step.
