To replace the rear light bulbs, it is necessary to remove the entire light assembly. The screw is accessible on the side of the boot after removing the trim by prying with a plastic tool in the designated slot.

Unscrew the retaining screw of the headlamp located under the cover and remove the lamp by disconnecting the connectors. Carefully remove the bulb holder and replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it counterclockwise until it releases.

Reinsert the new bulb using one with the same specifications. Reposition the light assembly in its housing, connecting the relevant connector.

Carefully tighten the retaining screw.
