How to replace the front headlight on a Volkswagen Polo 9N?

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Headlight

In this guide, you will learn how to change the front headlight on a Volkswagen Polo 9N. First, remove the seven screws shown in the video on the front of the vehicle, as you will need to take off the front grille. In the front wheel arch that you are working on, remove four screws, as this will also need to be removed, along with the plastic under the front bumper. At this point, it will be easy to remove the third screw on the top of the headlight. Using a small spanner, reach into the hole that has opened below to extract the second screw of the headlight. Now you can take it out carefully; disconnect the cable. The YouTuber shows where the screws were removed; this is where you will replace them to reinstall the new headlight. Then, replace the wheel arch liner, the plastic under the front bumper, and the entire front grille. Now the job is complete.
