How to replace the rear light assembly of a Volkswagen Passat B6

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

Let's see how to replace the rear light assembly of a Volkswagen Passat B6: we can find them on AliExpress with the code 1005010400208920 at a price of 22.09 euros each with free shipping. Open the trunk and remove the fabric cover of the side cargo area; unclip the clips, being careful as they can tear the fabric of the panel (as shown in the video). Remove the panel and see the back of the light; disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the three 10 mm nuts, being careful not to drop them. Now remove the light assembly. If the gasket is dry, we can take it off from the outside by pulling it towards us. Now let's clean the seat well from dirt, adhesive residue, and silicone, prepare the gasket, and insert the new light assembly, then from the inside, screw the 10 mm nuts onto the threaded pins. Reconnect the electrical connector, put the fabric panel back in place, and check the operation of all functions of the new light assembly. Check the watertightness of the gasket and close the trunk.
