Learn how to replace the halogen bulbs in the interior ceiling light of the Volkswagen Polo with LED bulbs: to remove the bulbs, simply use a plastic spatula to take off the polycarbonate cover to access the bulbs without removing the entire ceiling light.

Just remove the halogen bulbs and replace them with LED ones of the same size.

You can find this type of bulb on all major e-commerce platforms; for example, on Amazon, a kit of 4 pieces costs £9.99 with free delivery. Remember that it is good practice not to touch the bulbs (even LED ones) with bare hands, as this significantly shortens their lifespan.

Always use plastic gloves.
