How to Remove the Rear Light on a Subaru Outback?

Model: Subaru Outback BS, MK 5 - Years 2014-2019
Part: Tail light

In this tutorial, you will learn how to remove the rear light on a Subaru Outback, useful if you need to replace a faulty bulb or the light itself. To do this, open the boot and unscrew the two fixing rivets located on the inner edge of the light. Next, remove the plastic cover and unscrew the two bolts using a 10 mm socket. At this point, grasp the light, pull it outwards, and extract it from the bodywork. If you need to replace a bulb, simply rotate the bulb holder counterclockwise.
