Replacement of the rear taillight of the Mercedes GLA MK1

Model: Mercedes Gla MK 1, W156 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Tail light

The rear lights of the Mercedes GLA are exposed to impacts, which can compromise their integrity and no longer guarantee a watertight seal; this has bad consequences for the bulbs inside. If unfortunately we find ourselves in need of having to replace the headlight, let's see how to proceed. We open the rear door, on the side panel we find a brush in the lining open which we access the screw that locks the headlight; after unscrewing it, we grip the body of the headlight and pull it towards us until we overcome the resistance of the locking pins, we remove the connector to remove the headlight and replace it with a new one complete with bulbs.
