Video tutorial

We can see in this video how to change the brake light bulbs on a non-hybrid Volkswagen Jetta (because they have LED bulbs): we are dealing with those that have normal incandescent bulbs. Inside the trunk, we find a small cover, with an arrow indicating the direction in which it slides, and from which we can access the optical group.

We enter with our hand and find a wing nut that we can unscrew, and by pressing from behind we remove the entire rear light, being careful to disconnect the electrical plug we find behind it. At this point, we just have to remove the bulb holder to which the bulb we want to change is attached, and we will remove it with a quarter turn.

We replace it with the new bulb (being careful not to touch it with bare hands) and then put everything back in place following the reverse instructions.
