Part: Tail light bulb

Are the rear light bulbs blown? Let's see how to disassemble them on a BMW 1 Series. Open the boot lid and secure it. Remove the cover of the rear light (located at the side of the boot). Pull the bulb holder out of the rear light and extract all the damaged bulbs. Install the new bulbs into the bulb holder and then fit it back into the light. After fitting the bulb holder, you can close the compartment with the cover. Test the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly: open the door and enter the vehicle, turn on the instrument panel and the ignition switch.
