Removing the rear headlamp is extremely simple and does not require the removal of any other components: open the boot and locate the two screws securing the rear headlamp along the closure line of the boot, slightly moving the seal; once the two screws are removed, slide the headlamp backwards to take it out of its housing; at this point, you can also disconnect the power connector and detach the lamp holder to replace the bulbs (bayonet fitting); proceed in reverse for reassembly.
