Replacing Front Headlight Bulbs on Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Headlight bulb

Are the front headlight bulbs damaged? Remove the front headlight to access the bulbs, or just take off the cover cap located behind the headlight. Lift the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard, and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the inspection cap of the headlight (at the rear of the headlight) and remove it. Once the headlight is removed, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver. Install the new bulbs and then refit the front headlight if you have removed it from inside the bumper.
