Below we will discover the steps on how to disassemble and replace the low beam bulb of the front headlight of the Volkswagen Polo. First, we open the hood of the car and start removing the plastic cover protecting the bulbs, located behind the headlight; then we disconnect the electrical connector of the bulb, unhooking the metal clip to remove the light, as shown in the video.

At this point, we replace and install the new bulb, of the correct type and with the same fitting; we check the functioning of the lights and finally fix the plastic cap.
