Replacing the Reverse Light Bulb on a Volkswagen Polo

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

When you notice that a reverse light bulb on your Volkswagen Polo has blown, you must replace it as soon as possible for safety reasons. To do this, open the boot, position yourself near the light containing the bulb to be replaced, and inside the boot, on the side panel, you will find a small access flap. Once opened, you will have access to a white plastic screw; unscrew it and disconnect the electrical connector. You can then remove the light unit by twisting it, disconnect the plate holding the bulbs, pull out the blown bulb, and replace it with a new one. Reassemble everything by reversing the steps.
