To replace the rear light bulb, you need to remove the entire light cluster assembly. The screws are accessible on the side of the pillar.

After removing the screws with a screwdriver, take out the light cluster by disconnecting the connector. Once the light cluster is removed, take out the two screws to access the bulb holders.

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

Reattach the screws of the bulb holders and reposition the light cluster in its housing, connecting the respective connector. Tighten the screws carefully.
