How to Remove the Headlight of the Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo VI, Polo 6, MK 6, AW1, MK VI - Years 2017-2025
Part: Headlight

How do you remove the headlight of the Volkswagen Polo? Open the bonnet by pulling the bonnet release lever and secure it. Unscrew the fastening bolts on the headlight bar with a socket wrench (battery drill). At this point, you will find additional bolts at the bottom of the headlight; unscrew them from the metal plates. Disconnect the bulb holder from the headlight and extract it from the vehicle body. Fit the new headlight with new bulbs if damaged (always of the correct type and size) and insert the headlight into its housing. Finally, tighten the headlight bolts with the socket wrench. Test the lights' proper functioning.
