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

Today we will explain how to replace the headlight bulb of the Volkswagen Polo on your own. To perform this operation, we first need to purchase an H7 model bulb and use a T30 torque wrench. Open the front hood and unscrew the screws on the top of the headlight using the T30 torque wrench. Disconnect the connector group that locks the headlight to the vehicle. After removing the headlight from the vehicle, place it on a work surface and open the headlight cover. Remove the worn bulbs and insert the new ones. After inserting the new bulbs, close the headlight cover and insert the headlight back into the vehicle. Connect the connector group and screw the locking screws.
