Removing the Rear Light of a Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Tail light

Remove the rear light of a Volkswagen Passat to replace the damaged bulbs. Open the boot lid and use a lever to remove the plastic cover of the rear light. Use a screwdriver (with a socket or screwdriver bit) to unscrew the securing pins located at the side of the rear light. Once the light is free from any constraints, detach it from the bodywork (disconnect the relevant power connectors). Replace the damaged bulbs with identical size and voltage pieces. Finally, refit the light with all the associated parts.
