Part: Tail light bulb

In this video, you will learn how to replace the rear light bulb on a 2014 Polo 5. To begin, ensure the car is off and pull the handbrake. To avoid damaging the bulbs, never touch the glass part with your fingers or clean it well with absorbent paper before reassembling everything. Open the boot and detach the boot carpet to access the rear light housing. Now, manually unscrew the plastic butterfly that holds the light tight to the bodywork. Once done, take a flathead screwdriver and gently release the light from its housing (use a cloth to avoid damaging the bodywork). Remove the connector and then the plastic cover as indicated in the video. At this point, replace the bulb and reassemble everything.
