Removing the Rear Light of the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Tail light

Here’s how to proceed to remove the rear light of the Mini Cooper S in case you need to replace a blown bulb or change the model. Position yourself in front of the light to be removed and, using a plastic lever to avoid leaving marks, pry off the chrome trim by working along the entire edge to free the clips that hold it in place. Using a Torx screwdriver, unscrew the three screws that secure the light body, and with the plastic lever, you can now remove it from its housing. Now disconnect the electrical connector; for reassembly, proceed in reverse with the operations.
