Part: Headlight bulb

Do you want to remove the front headlight bulbs from your Polo? Here’s how to remove the bulbs inside the front headlight of the Polo. Open the bonnet by pulling the bonnet release lever and secure it (remove the headlight if there is limited space). Disconnect the cover cap at the back of the headlight. At this point, you will find the bulbs with their holders inside: disconnect the bulb holders from the headlight. Fit the new bulbs, and close the back of the headlight with its plastic cover. Close the engine compartment with the bonnet. Use approved bulbs of the same size.
