Are the rear light bulbs damaged? Do you want to replace the light? Remove the rear light and replace it. Open the boot and secure it; remove the cover at the back of the rear light. Unscrew all the screws that secure the light. Use a lever to detach the light from its housing and disconnect the power terminals. Remove the damaged bulbs and replace them (with equal size and voltage parts). After replacing the damaged light (with a new one), install the new light into the car’s body.
