Are the rear headlight bulbs blown? Here's how to change them. Open the boot and secure it. Remove the fabric panel covering the headlight (located at the back of the headlight) and take it off. At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs using a screwdriver if they do not come out easily.

Fit the new bulbs (ensuring they are the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the rear headlight housing. Reattach the fabric panel and secure it.
