How to Replace the Position Light Bulb on a Volkswagen Polo

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

To replace the position light bulb on the vehicle, follow these steps: open the bonnet and locate the light to be replaced and its corresponding optical group. At the back of the headlight, there is a soft plastic cover (cap) that needs to be removed. Inside, you will find the bulb holder. Using a pair of pointed tweezers, extract the bulb holder by turning it about half a turn. At this point, detach the bulb from the holder and replace it with the new one. Reinsert the bulb holder into the optical group and secure it in place, then reposition the plastic cap.
