How do you remove a rear light from your Mini? Let’s see how to do it in this video. On the Mini, removing a rear light is very simple, so use a plastic spatula to remove the chrome trim and unscrew the screws around the light with a screwdriver.

Pry the light out, pull it from its housing, and disconnect the power connectors. Now that the rear light is removed, compare it with the new one; if it matches the old one, you can install it. Start by connecting the light connectors to the new light and insert it into the car's body, pushing it towards the frame.

Once done, screw in the screws and finish by mounting the trim. Finally, check the correct operation of the lights, always remembering to use approved lights and parts.
