Are your rear headlight bulbs burnt out? Let's see how to change them. Open the trunk, then remove the fabric cover located on the side trim of the trunk.

Unscrew the metal retaining nuts of the rear headlight, disconnect the power connectors attached to the headlight, and pull it out from its housing. Replace the damaged bulbs with new ones (same voltage) on hand.

Reinstall the headlight with the respective retaining nuts, reconnect the power connectors, and close the inspection compartment with the cover cap. Turn on the switches and check if the headlight lights are working.
