To replace the bulb of the rear headlamp, you need to remove the headlamp itself. Open the boot, unscrew the fixing screws of the rear headlamp located along the closure line of the tailgate, and pull the headlamp from its housing.

Then, disconnect the bulb holder and proceed with replacing the bulb (bayonet fitting). Ensure the new bulb works correctly and reassemble by reversing the steps, securing the bulb holder to the headlamp and repositioning the headlamp in its housing, fastening it with the appropriate locking screws.
