In this tutorial we can see how to disassemble the rear lights in the BMW 1 Series, an extremely simple and fast operation. First of all, make sure that the key is not inserted, so that you can work safely, then open the trunk door and remove the small door located on the inner edge of the headlight in question.

Next, unscrew the screw that has just been released using a 10mm socket wrench, grab the headlight and separate it from the body by pulling it towards you. At this point, all that remains is to disconnect the power connector and install the replacement if necessary.
