To replace the rear light located on the tailgate, access it from the boot: on the internal plastic covering, directly opposite the light, there is a plastic cap: once removed, simply disconnect the bulb holder, unscrew the two metal nuts securing the light, remove it and fit the new one. For the light located on the bodywork, lift the carpet, disconnect the power connector of the bulb holder, unscrew the two plastic nuts and remove the original light; then transfer the bulb holder from the original light to the new one and reassemble it.
