Want to remove the rear light of your Skoda Octavia? Here’s how to take it out from the bodywork of the car. Lift the boot lid, detach the plastic cover, and unscrew the securing screws located at the side of the light (right or left) using a screwdriver.

Once all screws are removed, pull the rear light from its housing (disconnect the power connectors) and replace any damaged bulbs with new ones (same size and voltage).

Refit the light into the light housing: reconnect the power connectors and screw in the securing screws. Test the proper functioning of all parts of the light.
