In the BMW X3 F25, it is a common issue to find the rear LEDs not working, but don't worry; with a minimal cost, you can fix the problem. You will only need to replace the board that controls the LEDs, of which there are 4, one for each of the rear light assemblies.

Check which LED is not functioning, then proceed to remove the light assembly that has the issue, using the video I attached as a guide. This is a very simple operation that you can perform independently.

To remove the side light, just take off the plastic cover you see when opening the trunk, then unscrew the 2 nuts that will allow you to pull it out. At this point, pull out the bulb holder, which is held in place by clips. Inside, you will find this board where you need to disconnect the connector and then connect it to the new one before putting it back in its place.

For the inner light, you will find a removable inspection cover inside the hood that will allow you to remove the single screw and then detach the light assembly itself. At this point, the board to be replaced will be visible, and you can simply repeat the operation I explained earlier.

You're done; just reassemble everything by following the various steps in reverse.
