Rear Headlamp Bulb Replacement

Model: Jeep Patriot MK 1 - Years 2007-2017
Part: Tail light bulb

To replace the bulbs in the rear headlamp, you must remove the headlamp itself. Open the boot lid, locate the retaining clips securing the headlamp along the closure line, remove the pin and then the clip, and detach the headlamp from its housing. At this point, release the bulb holder by turning it 90 degrees anti-clockwise and extract the bulb. Replace it with a new one (bayonet fitting) and reattach the bulb holder. Repeat the same procedure for each bulb and reinstall the headlamp by first securing the pin to the bodywork and then fastening it with the retaining clips.
