How to replace the rear lights bulbs of the VW Up

Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Tail light bulb

Today we will replace together the rear headlight bulbs of the Volkswagen Up. We open the trunk and remove the internal side cover to unscrew the butterfly nut that secures the headlight. We unscrew the nut clockwise to remove the headlight. We pull the headlight outwards to remove it and disconnect the power connector by pulling the red lever with a flat-head screwdriver. We remove the support plate, moving the tabs from the support and proceed with the replacement of the bulbs. We insert the H4 model bulbs of 12 Volts and apply the plate. We connect the connector and mount the headlight in its housing.

Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
