One of my bulbs went out in my 06 Jetta and I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the bulbs? Thanks

They are a little tricky at first. you must feel around the back of the headlight to find the bulb holder. It has a relatively large 2" flat blade of plastic on the back of it so you can twist the holder counter-clockwise to unlock/remove. It comes out completely without any wires attached.

I looked in the owners manual and it said to take it to the dealership to have a bulb replace to go to the dealership.

Look carefully throughout the entire manual, you will find the pictures, and text to guide you through it.
(place your hands logically where the Bulb would be, and unscrew the holder, pull out, replace the bulb, re-insert)
