Replacing the Number Plate Bulb on Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: License plate light

Today, perform a very simple task that many may not know about: replacing the bulb that illuminates the rear number plate. Use a cross-head screwdriver to unscrew the two screws securing the light, one on each side, then pry it out using a small flat screwdriver in the side slot. Once done, simply pull out the small bulb from the side clips, then insert the new equivalent bulb you purchased. Reinsert the light into its position and screw in the side screws. As you can see, this is very straightforward maintenance.
