Headlight headache with Polo
Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2023 3:24 pm
Hi All,
I am really struggling with my Polo at its headlights. I've failed mot a few times on headlights and since then been through 2 original used sets and this time bought a brand new set from Germany for £100. Of course it failed because the pattern made was for European roads So i bought another set from Eurocarparts TYC for £160 and it failed retest. Was told that drivers side was fine but passengers was wrong. I came back home and checked the bulb and it was fully seated, so I though that would be it BUT today it again failed. Since I am at work my wife's been the one taking the car and is now sick of it. She took some pictures as well:
Drivers side: Passenger side: The only think I can think of is that the bulbs might not be the same brand I am not sure, but would that made any difference?
Thanks for any help
