How to change the manual headlight switch to automatic on a Volkswagen Polo 6R

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Push button

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.
