Removing the rear headlight is very simple, but you need to remove some elements inside the trunk to access the headlight mounting; open the trunk, remove the cover of the trunk floor, and then the plastic shelf that also serves as a storage compartment; then move the carpeted side cover to access the headlight mounting nut and unscrew it to detach the headlight and pull it out of its housing, moving it enough to disconnect the power connector and complete the removal.
