Replacing the bulb is a task that does not require extensive skills, although it seems to have become a bit more challenging in newer cars. To replace the rear light bulb, open the boot and unscrew the two screws, then peel back the upholstery and reach in to unscrew the screw.

Once done, you can detach the rear light from the bodywork, being careful as it is not necessary to disconnect all the wires, just the bulb holder by applying pressure on the two clips. At this point, replacing the bulb will be simple and straightforward.
