Is the light on your car damaged? Let's look at removing the rear light of a VW Jetta. Open and lift the tailgate, access the luggage compartment side, and remove the cover.

Locate the retaining screws of the rear light: unscrew all screws securing the light. Use a lever to detach the light from its housing and disconnect the power connectors.

After replacing the damaged light with a new one, install the new light into the car's metalwork. Fit bulbs of the same size and voltage.

Test the operation of the bulbs in the new light.
