How to remove the front headlight of the Volkswagen Polo

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

Below we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the front headlight and its bulbs of the Volkswagen Polo. First, we open the hood of the car and start unscrewing all the fixing screws we find on the top of the headlight, using a torx key or screwdriver; then we disconnect the electrical connector of the bulbs to remove the headlight unit, as shown in the video. At this point, if necessary, we replace the bulbs by removing the plastic cap; we replace the entire front headlight, fixing it correctly on the body.
