In this video we can see how to change the headlight switch of a Volkswagen Polo 6R (or Golf 4) from manual to automatic. It is a simple procedure.

If we purchase it as an original Volkswagen spare part, it is a simple plug & play, as shown by the youtuber. If we want to save a bit more, it is also possible to find it at a lower cost on Amazon with the code B08L253Y6R at a price of 57.29 euros, free delivery for Prime customers.

Removing the component is very easy: just put the switch in a vertical position and then pull towards us. Just remove the connector and install the new one; we just have to find a place for the light sensor, which must come out of the dashboard and be positioned in a place where it can do its job.
