Orginally introduced back in 1975, the Polo has become a flagship range of the Volkswagen brand. This particular model, the Volkswagen Polo V/Mk5 6R, was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009 and was promptly awarded European Car of the Year in 2010. The same year, it also won the coveted World Car of the Year award at the New York International Auto Show as well as the What Car? award Supermini of the Year. With the Polo Mk5 6R remaining in production 2009-2017, the lighting technology used in these cars is however over 15 years old today.    

Factory-fitted options included H4 or H7 halogen and D3S bi-xenon headlights.    

The halogen version features an H7 reflector that produces an average light beam even when new. In many cases, its light output has been further compromised as bulb heat and general ageing cause the reflective layer to peel off.     

The bi-xenon setup features a 3.0-inch projector, designed in the late 90s. These projectors are known to lose their reflective layer right to the point where they become black inside, causing dangerously low light output.

Needless to say, buying new or used original headlights for your Volkswagen Polo 6R is not recommended. But there is fortunately no need for that. Whether your car was factory-fitted with H4, H7 halogen or D3S bi-xenon headlights, there are upgrade kits that will fit inside your existing headlights.

These complete retrofit kits not only provide you with superior brightness and durability; they are also more affordable than average Volkswagen Polo xenon headlights with bulbs and ballasts, and since all components are brand new, they come with a 2-year warranty. Additional benefits over OEM headlights include Canbus-proof designs and effortless halogen-to-xenon conversions. What’s more, the levelling systems will work without any adjustments to the headlight connectors, and you can use any ballasts that you might already own to save further on xenon upgrades.

No matter which retrofit upgrade kit you pick, you will improve the light output considerably, making for safer and more enjoyable driving. And, of course, your Volkswagen Polo will look awesome with the luxurious bright light of the latest xenon technology.
