Lights on polo SE

Post by reyonalmighty »

Hi forgive me for asking a silly question or if it has been asked already.

But could anyone tell me the type/ size bulb that is in the interior of my polo SE.

Also does anyone know the size or bulb type that goes in to the rear reverse tailgate and indicator bulb ( REAR)

Sorry once again if these questions have been asked already and thanks in advance.

:)

Rear indicators are 21w offset bulbs
Reverse 21w
Tail /brake is 21w5w
Can't remember the singular tail light bulbs.

Interior are normal 501w wedge bulbs

If one of your interior bulbs have blown, just take it out and take it to Halfords or anther store like that, it's that easy.

I'm pretty sure not all the bulbs in his list will have blown.
So he's obviously just thinking of ordering better/different replacements.

He only asked about his interior bulbs, it was another member who listed all the bulbs, perhaps you should have got your "Geeky" mother to post for you :lol:

Read it again.
He asks about interior bulbs AND the rear bulbs.

Ah, I recall. 8)
I'm very pleased with the Phillips (dip) and Osram (main) combo.
If you change the interior bulbs, let me know how easy it was?
I changed the interior bulbs of my Mini to blue, and it looked ace - I'd like to do it again.
I'd probably go LED CANBUS error free.

Amazing combo. Hardly ever use my main beams to be honest. And I definitely will let you know once I get round to changing them. The aim is to get LED Canbus free interior bulbs. Trouble is actually finding reliable bulbs that actually work. Have to probably scout eBay or amazon over the weekend. :roll:

The Phillips ones are also quite good. But about a tenner for 2 bulbs.

The festoon canbus-free festoon bulbs in my Mini were reliable enough.
Just ebay no-name rubbish, they're not a safety/legality item so I wasn't bothered.
I'd prefer a proper brand with quality control and standards to meet etc.
