In this tutorial, we will see how to replace the front fog lights on a Volkswagen Polo, a very simple and quick operation. First of all, let's make sure that the key is not inserted, so we can operate safely.

Then, we will carefully pry off the outer frame of the headlight using a plastic spatula to avoid leaving any marks. Next, we will unscrew the screws that have just been exposed, remove the headlight from its housing, and disconnect the power connectors.

At this point, all that’s left is to replace the faulty bulb and reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
