Replacing the Rear Light Bulb

Model: Honda Civic MK 6 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Tail light bulb

To replace the rear light bulb, you need to remove the inner side trim of the boot: this allows access to the lamp holder and inspection of the bulbs. If you need to replace the rear light, you must remove the bumper by unscrewing the fixing screws along the wheel arch and the inner edge of the bumper (near the bonnet seal); after removing the pins, unclip the bumper from the side and take it off. You can now access the fixing pins of the light to remove and replace it. Finally, reattach the bumper ensuring it clips in correctly.
