Polo 9N3 Rear Tail Light Removal.
There are 3 points at which the tail light is connected to the car.


Green is the threaded shaft and the orange is the 2 fixing posts
This is a 5 minute task needing no tools.
The first step is to disconnect the wire loom to the light.

The second step is to un screw the locking nut which is connected to the chassis via a grey plastic link.

Then it’s a matter of carefully lifting up and outwards on the tail light fitting.

Then you should be able to remove the unit.

Thanks again for the tips. If there is one thing that the earlier model is very much worse in, it is the tail lights. It is one mod I hope to make to ours.

when taking the taillight out, be VERY careful with the clips. it breaks very easily

Found the catalogue http://www.hella.com/produktion/Hell..._Part2_GBu.pdf

Spoke to two Hella agents and they said that these are only accessable from VW

Well I have had no luck. I think I will just get the OEM tail lights smoked - anyone know who does this in Brisbane, I'm not confident attempting this myself!

Have u tried ebay? I saw some on there a few weeks ago.
