Open the rear hatch and remove the velcro cover that conceals the inner part directly in front of the light; then disconnect the plugs connected to it and unscrew the plastic nuts that hold it to the bodywork: at this point, you can remove the light by pulling it outwards.

Unscrew the fixing screws of the bulb holder and attach it to the new light (it is advisable to replace the bulbs as a precaution).

Reposition the light in its location (after cleaning it if necessary), screw in the fixing nuts from the inside, and reconnect the plugs.
