What did you do to your Polo today?

how did you do the interior lights? how did you take off the covers? especially the reading lights

I just ordered some reading light and number plate globes, but I forgot about the sunvisor mirror globes!

For the reading lights I did a forum search. They're T10 wedge globes. To remove them you first have to remove the peice behind the light assy (factory handsfree kit). It is very tight so be forceful. Once this is removed repeat the process with the light assy. Replace the lights and refit.

For the mirror globes insert a small flat blade screwdriver into the inside of the cover (side that faces the middle of the car. LHS for drivers, RHS for passenger). There is a metal clip that needs to be pushed in then that side will slide down (with a bit of persuasion). Replace the globe (39mm festoon which is very hard to find, I used 36mm festoon and bent the terminals accordingly) and refit the assy.

Light replacement took about 10 mins total, about the same time as the B pillar install.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for that. I'm a little impatient sometimes and have had issues purchasing LED's of EBay before so I went to my local Jaycar and purchased the 36mm ones for $9.95ea. 4 superbright LED's and they light up everything nicely

And when Jimmy gets a break ... it'll go nicely behind the new honeycomb lower grills coming from Adam on the west coast.

Well, I fist went for a drive to blow out the cob webs and blow off the dust as I have been stuck on a Navy ship for the last week(The Pussers can have that ****, I hate not having solid ground beneath my feet, no matter how big the ship is!!), and I picked up my Forge TIP and Intercooler pipe from the post office. I added the Intercooler pipe this arvo, and will throw the TIP at the engine over the weekend....I'm still swaying from that ****ing ship!!!
