Does anyone know the sizes of the main and sidelight bulbs on the polo?

At work so dont have access to my manual

Sick of the yellow lights so fancy a bulb upgrade

Dipped should be H7's and sidelights wedge style 501's. I bought my 501's from ultraleds.

hmm i've just realised i've never actually checked out changing bulbs in the 9n3, is there access of is it one of those annoying drop the bumper/remove the headlight jobs?

Apparently there is access, you've just got to feel around a bit

U can change ur bulbs with removin the bumper etc. Sidelights just pull out (they are tight so it needs to be a good yank! Some ppl pull on the wires, but watch ya dont pull them out the bulb holder itself) dipped bulbs just turn anti clockwise bout 30 or 40 degrees and pull out. Can be a bit tight when doin them, but a managed to change to xenons and led sidelights with out removing the headlight and ave got big clumsy hands!!!

cool that's handy then, can't stand cars where you have to remove the bloody headlights to change the bulbs!
