Part: Side marker bulb

In this guide, we will see how to change the turn signal of a Volkswagen Polo 5 side mirror. Let's start the procedure by removing the mirror from its position using a plastic lever, then disconnect its two cables for heating and remove it completely. After that, we remove the rear cover of the side mirror by pushing its two fixing clips as shown in the video, then, using a torx 20 key, we unscrew the three screws that fix the remaining parts of the mirror. Once this is done, we remove the upper plastic frame of the mirror in order to remove and replace the side turn signal by first disconnecting its wiring, finally we reassemble everything following the reverse procedure.
