Replacing the Rear Side Indicator Bulb

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

I will explain how to replace the rear side indicator bulb of your car with simple steps and perhaps a bit of skill. Gather a cross-head screwdriver and the new bulb. Go under the wheel arch with your screwdriver, where you will find several plastic screws. Unscrew the two screws at the bottom, remove them, and set them aside. Now you will face the indicator bulb holder; using two fingers, take the holder and unscrew the end by turning it clockwise to extract it. Then, remove the old bulb and replace it with a new one. Now insert the end back into the indicator bulb holder and close the mechanism by turning it anti-clockwise. Reassemble everything, and your job will be complete.
