blut blut praaaap.... fuck off. Seriously.

Every car is different obviously.

Polo should be, pop the covering cap off, you'll need to push the clip holding the bulb towards the front of the car, then move it left or right (can't remember) and the retaining clip will flop foward. Disconnect the power to the bulb and change. Don't touch the bulb.

If you want an answer a little bit of info always helps.  :rolleyes:

Right in that case then, they are a push and twist.

The power pack on the back of the bulb also holds it in by two shaped clips either side, gently push it away from the engine, then twist is to the left as you look the direction the bulb is facing. you can then swap them over by gently prising the old one out (holding the bulb) and pushing the new one locating it so that the flat with the notch is located in the same place and using the base of the bulb to push it fully in. Then reversal of removing.
