On the Volkswagen Polo, it will be possible to replace the headlight bulb by opening the hood and then unscrewing the screws that fix the headlight from the top: once the headlight is freed from its screws, it will be possible to disconnect the connectors at the back and remove it. At this point, it will be possible to open the headlight by removing the cover at the back and then remove the bulb from inside its housing; in this way, the new bulb can be inserted, repositioning the headlight in its seat and fixing it properly.
