Removing the rear interior light to replace the bulbs is a very quick and simple procedure on the Volkswagen Tiguan. Obtain a plastic wedge or, at a pinch, a small flat screwdriver.

Insert the wedge into the surrounding slot of the light and gently pry to extract it from its housing. Done! Here are the small LED lights inside the cabin.

Remove them and insert the new ones you have purchased, then reassemble the light by clicking it back into place. You can also replace them with different bulbs if the fitting and size allow.
