Changing the light bulbs of the rear lights is easier than you think. Open the trunk and look for the plastic clips that hold the headlight, usually there are screws or a knob to unscrew.

Once the block is removed, carefully disconnect the electrical connector. Now you have access to the bulb holder, rotate it, remove it and replace the burnt bulb with a new one of the same type.

Reassemble everything following the steps in reverse and test by turning on the lights. If it works, you can be proud of yourself.

If it doesn't work, check the connections again, or contact a specialized workshop.
