How to Remove the Rear Light from a BMW 1 Series

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 2, F20, F21 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Tail light

Are the bulbs in the rear light of your BMW 1 Series no longer working? Let's see in this video how to replace the damaged bulbs. Open the boot lid, and using a screwdriver, remove the plastic cover located next to the rear light. Once the rear light is free from any constraints, detach it from the bodywork (disconnect the relevant power connectors). Replace the damaged bulbs with identical ones in size and voltage. Finally, reassemble the rear light (along with the bulb holder) and reverse the assembly of the other parts.
