How to replace the rear headlight of a BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Tail light

To replace the rear light of a BMW 3 Series, open the rear hatch and locate the mounting screws around the perimeter of the light. Use an appropriate screwdriver to carefully unscrew the screws. Once the screws have been removed, gently grab the light and pull it outward to detach it from the body. Pay attention to the electrical connectors on the back of the light. Disconnect them carefully and remove the light completely. Before installing the new light, make sure it matches exactly the model and specifications of your BMW 3 Series. Connect the electrical connectors to the new light and position it in the appropriate slot on the body. Ensure that the alignment pins are correctly positioned and then gently press the light downward to secure it in place. Screw in the mounting screws with the screwdriver, making sure the light is securely attached. Finally, close the rear hatch and turn on the new light to verify proper operation.

Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
