Detailed instructions - To remove the front headlight of a Volkswagen Polo 4, turn off the engine and open the bonnet. Start by removing the front grille, unclipping the clips or unscrewing the fixing screws. Unscrew the upper screws of the headlight visible in the engine bay. To access the side and lower fixings, you may need to loosen or slightly move the front bumper by unscrewing the screws in the wheel arch. Once all the fixing bolts are removed, disconnect the main electrical connector by pressing the locking tab. Carefully pull the headlight unit from its housing, avoiding force. The headlight is now free and can be replaced or reinstalled by following the reverse procedure.
