The lights are all solid state and designed to last the life of the vehicle e.g. soldered onto the circuit boards whilst you could change them doing so would somewhat difficult.

A few people wirh Golfs have done it. It involves changing all the SMD (Surface Mount Device) LEDs on the circuit boards. Not difficult if you are a SMD operator or rework technician or have access to one.
