Are your bulbs burnt out? I will explain how to remove and replace the bulbs of your car's rear headlamp. It requires some skill! Gather a trim removal kit for automotive plastics and Torx keys.

Use a trim tool to remove the chrome bezel of the headlamp to access the screws. Then, open the bonnet; on the right side, you will find a small cover that you need to open to detach the clips of the bulb holder.

Now, using the Torx keys, remove all screws, then gently pull the headlamp towards you to remove it. Next, remove the bulb holder and replace all necessary bulbs, then reassemble everything in reverse order and your work is complete.
