How to replace the headlights bulbs in a Volkswagen Polo?

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

In this tutorial, we will see how to replace the headlights in a Volkswagen Polo, a very simple and quick operation. First, let's make sure that the instrument panel is off, so we can work safely. Then, we open the hood, locate the large cap at the back of the headlight in question, and remove it. Next, we grab the bulb holder, pull it out by turning it slightly counterclockwise, and disconnect the old bulb. At this point, all that’s left is to connect the replacement bulb and reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
