Lift the trunk lid and remove the cover located behind the affected headlight. Unscrew the 8 mm screw and remove the retaining clip.

This simple operation will allow you to extract the headlight from its housing. Disconnect the connector, and you will have the headlight free.

At this point, you can place your headlight wherever you want, such as on a workbench, and access any bulb from the back of it. In the case of the video, the LED for the brake light is being replaced, but this is the method to use for any rear bulb.

Good luck!
