Used fog lights vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Fog lights were available on the Polo but were not standard across all variants — they were typically fitted as standard on higher trim levels such as SE, Match, GT, GTI and R-Line, and offered as an optional extra on some lower trims. If you're unsure whether your car left the factory with fog lights, check the sticker in the spare wheel well or door jamb, or look for the fog light switch on the dashboard. A breaker can also confirm whether a front bumper they have is fog-light-equipped before you buy.
These fall in different generations — the Polo Mk5 (6R) ran from 2009 to 2014, with a facelift in 2014 that introduced the 6C body, while the 2016 car is the post-facelift 6C. A pre-facelift 6R fog light from 2012 is very unlikely to fit a 2016 6C without modification, as the front bumpers and trim changed at the 2014 facelift. Confirm the exact part compatibility with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
Both a 2015 and a 2017 Polo sit within the post-facelift Mk5 6C generation (2014–2017), so they share the same front-end design and the fog lights should correspond. That said, always confirm with the breaker against your registration, as minor running changes can occur within a production cycle.
No — within the same generation and facelift period, 3-door and 5-door Polos share the same front bumper and fog light units, so the door count makes no difference to fitment. Simply match the generation and facelift period and you're looking at the same part.
Trim level does not generally affect the fog light unit itself within the same generation — the aperture and fitting points in the bumper are shared. However, bumper styling can differ between standard trims and sportier trims like GTI or R-Line, so the surround or bezel around the fog light may look different even if the lamp itself is compatible. Confirm the specific part with the breaker against your registration to make sure the aesthetic result matches what you expect.
No — the Polo Mk4 (9N/9N3, 2002–2009) and Mk5 (6R/6C, 2009–2017) are entirely different generations with different front-end designs, so the fog lights and bumper fittings are not interchangeable. Always source a fog light that matches your car's specific generation and facelift period, and confirm with the breaker against your registration.
