Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R50, R52, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Rear light bulb
Operation: How to replace the rear brake light bulb on a MINI

To gain access to the rear light assembly, we will need to open the trunk. Once opened, on the right side of the internal trunk, we will notice a small door. This door is locked by the two clips positioned on the top of it, and to unlock and remove it simply apply a light pressure on these two clips. Once this door has been removed, on the right we will notice the light bulb group. To unlock it and allow us to replace the rear brake bulb, we will have to exert a slight force on an additional clip. Once this is done, we will be able to extract the bulb group internally through the slot in the door. After this step we will have all the space to be able to easily replace the light bulb. The rear brake bulb is the one located at the bottom of the bulb assembly. To be able to disassemble it, we will have to slightly unscrew it anti-clockwise, and then extract it from its seat. Before moving it away, let's note the position of the two pins that characterize our double filament bulb. Subsequently we will have to insert the new bulb, positioning it inside its seat with the pins that respect the positions of the previous bulb, and screw it clockwise. For reassembly, simply follow these steps in reverse.
