Before starting, open the front bonnet of your Volkswagen Polo. Begin by disconnecting the rear electrical connector that powers the front lamp bulbs, simply by unclipping it. Once done, unscrew and remove the screws that secure the lamp to the car, then remove the lamp itself.

This will give you access to the rear cover of the blown indicator bulb, which you need to unclip and remove, allowing you to access the bulb itself.

At this point, extract the bulb, then disconnect the corresponding socket, and you will have completed the removal. To fit the new bulb and reassemble the lamp, simply reverse these steps, and you will have completed the replacement.
