How to replace the rear headlight bulb of the Mini Countryman

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Tail light bulb

Replacing the rear light bulb on a Mini Countryman R60 model vehicle is a simple and quick operation to perform independently. We open the trunk of the car and remove the side carpet to access the inside of the headlight. Using an 8mm wrench, we unscrew the two bolts that secure the headlight assembly. We disconnect the connector from the headlight and move the bearing back. We remove the headlight from its housing and continue with the replacement of the non-functioning bulbs. We insert the new bulbs into the headlight and position the headlight in its housing. We connect the connector and screw the two fixing screws with the wrench, position the bearing, and mount the side cover. If necessary, we perform the replacement of the left rear headlight bulb using the same steps.
