In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the rear light bulbs in the BMW 3 Series, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, make sure that the key is not inserted, then open the trunk door, remove the plastic cover along the inner edge of the headlight in question and unscrew the two screws just released using a 10mm socket wrench.

Then grab the headlight, separate it from the body, disconnect the connector, and open the internal base. At this point, all that remains is to replace the faulty bulb and reassemble everything following the reverse procedure.
