How to Remove the Front Headlamp from a Volkswagen Polo?

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

To remove the front headlamp from a Volkswagen Polo, open the bonnet to access the components securing the front bumper: there will be rivets to remove at the top and screws to loosen at the bottom and in the wheel arch. Once these elements are removed, you can completely detach the bumper from its location, then loosen the screws securing the corresponding headlamp; after unscrewing these screws, disconnect the connectors at the back of the headlamp unit and replace it with a new one.
