How to replace the rear light bulb on a Mini

Model: Mini Mini R50, R52, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Tail light bulb

Damaged headlight bulbs on a Mini? Let's replace them with new bulbs. We open the trunk lid, remove the plastic panel of the side trim (unscrew the tightening screws). Once the screws have been unscrewed, we remove the rear light from its housing and replace the damaged bulbs with new ones (size and voltage equal). Finally we go to reassemble the lighthouse with attached screws. We screw in the fixing screws of the headlight, close the cover of the interior trim of the trunk. We check the bulbs whether or not they work in the rear light. We disassemble the lighthouse again if we have problems.
