How to replace the rear bulb of the Bmw Serie 3 Coupe

Model: BMW Serie 3 E92, E90, E91 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Tail light

To replace the rear light bulb on the Bmw Serie 3 Coupè, we start by opening the trunk, at the rear side of the lighthouse (in the left video), we find a carpet flap which we pull from the outside towards the passenger compartment; once the carpet cover has been removed, we find the various bulbs of the rear light, pull the white tab slightly upwards and extract the group of bulbs. Once the group of bulbs has been removed, identify the bulb to be changed, press it lightly and turn it anticlockwise, removing it; once the burnt out bulb has been removed, take the new bulb and insert it in the bulb holder by pressing it lightly and turning it slightly clockwise; now we can reinsert the bulb assembly until the white tab clicks, replace the rear light flap and close the trunk. Finally we can check the correct functioning of the changed bulb.
