How to Replace the Headlight Supports on a Volkswagen Polo 6R?

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

In this video, you will see how to replace the supports (both lower and upper) that hold the front headlight of a Volkswagen Polo 6R. You can find the complete repair kit (specify if it is for the left or right headlight) on tarostrade.it with EAN code 3800957983596 for £6.17, with delivery in one day for £6.49. Remove the T30 screws that secure the headlight, disconnect the connectors, and extract the headlight from the housing. To replace the lower support, access the T30 screw (an angled screwdriver will be useful, and be careful as if the screw falls, you will need to search for it in the wheel arch). Replace the support with the new one, tightening the screw. Now move on to the upper support, cut it, remove any plastic residue, insert the new support, and secure it with T20 screws without over-tightening. It’s not a difficult or lengthy job, but it requires precision.
