To replace the rear light bulb, you must remove the entire light assembly. The necessary tools can be found in the accessory kit provided with the vehicle.

The screws are accessible, one at the bottom under the boot cover near the access opening, and the other under the pillar cover after removing the plastic cap. After removing the screws with a wrench, take out the light by disconnecting the connector.

Once the light is removed, take out the four screws to access the bulb holder.

Carefully remove the cover and replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it counterclockwise until it releases. Insert the new bulb, ensuring it has the same specifications.

Refit the screws of the bulb holder and reposition the light assembly, connecting the respective connector. Tighten the screws carefully.
