Replacement of the Indicator Bulb in the External Wing Mirror

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Side marker light

Replacing the external wing mirror does not require removal from the vehicle. Carefully detach the wing mirror, taking care with the various internal wiring that must be gently removed. Behind the plastic cover, you will find three securing screws for the mirror that need to be removed. Disconnect the wire by acting on the connector and take out the mirror. Replace the burnt-out bulb and refit the mirror by reversing the previous steps. Ensure the perfect positioning of the three supports in their respective housings. Check that the adjustment mechanism still functions correctly.
