How to replace the tail lights on a Volkswagen Jetta?

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 6, A6 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Tail light

In this tutorial, we will see how to replace the rear lights on a Volkswagen Jetta, a process that is extremely simple and quick. First, let's make sure that the key is not inserted, so we can operate safely. Then, we open both the trunk lid and the small hatch located at the back of the light in question. Next, we unscrew the long plastic bolt, separate the light from the body by pulling it outward, and disconnect the power connector. At this point, all that's left is to replace the faulty element and reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
