First of all, if you want to find the burned bulb, name, or SKU cod for Skoda or other car brands you cand find them here http://bulb-finder.com/ and for Skoda Octavia click on the below image.

On the site you can also find what kind of bulbs fit inside or behind the car.

 

     In the beginning, you have to unscrew the white plastic screw nut located behind the headlight, under the bonnet (as you can see in the next image).

     Then, you will need to press and pull the two plastic safety pieces situated on the left part of the headlight, as shown below.

     At this point you will be able to remove the headlight assembly, getting you access to the light bulb.

     The final step before replacing the light bulb is to remove a plastic cover behind its socket. In the next picture you can see how this piece looks like. The light bulb gets out easily, after you turn its mechanism counterclockwise.

It is well known that the grease on your hands can reduce the life of the light bulb. At the end, you just have to put everything back together carefully.
