To replace the rear light bulbs, you need to remove the entire light assembly. The screw is accessible on the side of the boot after removing the plastic protective trim.

Unscrew the retaining screws of the headlamp located under the cover and remove the light by disconnecting the connectors. Once the bulb holder is removed, carefully replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it anti-clockwise until it releases.

Refit the new bulb using one with the same specifications. Reposition the light assembly in the housing by connecting the respective connector.

Carefully tighten the retaining screw and reattach the trim. Perform a functionality test.
