To replace the bulb, you only need a screwdriver and a spanner. To replace the bulb, you must remove the entire light assembly.

The screws are accessible under the soundproof cover in the boot near the light. After removing the two screws, take out the light by first disconnecting the connector.

Once the light is removed, unscrew the four screws to access the bulb holder. Carefully remove the cover and replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it anti-clockwise 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, reconnecting the relevant connector.

Tighten the screws carefully.
