UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

As topic says how easy/hard is this to do had a quick look the now and looks like you gotta take the headlighs off

No time like present for this (Sorry pics are a bit blurry it was pissing it down outside the now )

Here it goes for both sides is the same apart from the slackening of the wee plastic retaining screw.

You turn it anti-clockwise and pull it up on passenger side.


And on drivers side you turn the screw clockwise and pull it up.


Passenger unit with pin pulled up.




Then for indicator unit removal just slide unit out.



P.s. Watch on refitting as there is 2 wee prongs on side of unit that slide in little alignment holes on side of headlight unit to keep indicator unit secure.

Watch you don't break them, there flimsy as i found out breaking top one, but never bought a new one as unit still secure when in place

The spring is for the screw you turn and pull up to tension the indicator
when in place i think.

Anyone feel free to correct me if wrong

Any questions just ask.

Cheers for that richard, i've always wondered how to get them out because i'm going to buy some philips silvervision bulbs so they're clear and not orange. but i found my drivers side screw top thing has snapped off! so thats going to be a mission

No probs Chris.

P.s. whats olop in your name mean ?

spell it backwards

just had a go at replacing my bulbs, how the heck do the headlights come off if they do to fit the bulbs??

have no idea why i tried taking off the actuall headlights

followed the guide richard posted up step by step and he got it spot on!! my front indicators are now de-tangoed and have the osram diadem treatment
