Part: Tail light

Do you want to remove the rear headlight from your Volkswagen Passat? Let's see how to proceed with the removal. First, open the boot and remove the inspection cap. Use a socket spanner to undo the bolts located between the bodywork and the headlight. Use a plastic lever to help pull the rear headlight away. Replace any damaged bulbs with new ones (ensuring the same size and voltage). After replacing the damaged bulbs, prepare to refit the new headlight with its components.
