This tutorial explains how to remove the rear lights on a Volkswagen Polo. The operation is quite simple. First, open the rear boot of the car and locate the small side panel underneath the boot lining; once this hatch is opened, you will have direct access to the light.

As seen in the video images, the light is secured to the car with a spring-shaped screw, which needs to be unscrewed to extract the light in question. At this point, simply replace it with the new light by inserting it into the appropriate socket and re-screwing the screw.
