In this tutorial, you will learn how to replace the rear light bulbs on a Subaru Outback, a very simple task. Start by opening the tailgate and removing the two plastic rivets with a cross-head screwdriver, then remove the panel and unscrew the two securing bolts of the light using a 10mm socket.

Once done, disengage the light from the bodywork and extract the bulb by turning the bulb holder counter-clockwise. Finally, fit the replacement bulb by following the reverse procedure, avoiding direct contact with it using bare hands.
