Are the front headlight bulbs on the Polo blown? Let's replace the front headlight bulbs. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop.

Simply remove the cap at the back of the front headlight. Disconnect the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver if it is difficult to remove them by hand.

Install the new bulbs (always of the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder into the headlight housing. Close the front lights with the closure caps.

Turn on the headlights and check the operation of the new bulbs.
