Replacement of the rear headlight bulbs of the BMW X3

Model: BMW X3 MK 2, F25 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Tail light bulb

Today's instructions will allow us to disassemble and replace the bulbs of the rear headlight of the BMW X3. First, we open the rear hatch of the trunk and start removing the plastic cover behind the tail light; then we remove the lamp holder, disconnecting the electrical connector of the lights, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the faulty stop light, replacing it with the new one (having the same fitting); we reassemble the lamp holder and check the operation of the lights, replacing the other stop lights in the same way!
