Are the rear headlamp bulbs damaged on your Mini? Replace them with new bulbs. Open the boot lid, remove the plastic panel from the side trim (unscrew the securing screws). Once the screws are removed, disconnect the rear headlamp from its housing and replace the damaged bulbs with new ones (same size and voltage). Finally, refit the headlamp with the screws. Tighten the securing screws of the headlamp, close the internal trim cover of the boot. Check if the bulbs are functioning in the rear headlamp. Dismantle the headlamp again if there are issues.
