In this brief and simple guide, you will learn the steps to remove and replace the reverse light bulb on the first series Volkswagen Tiguan. First, unscrew the fixing screws of the rear wheel arch on the side of the reverse light bulb using a T25 Torx spanner.

Once the bumper is removed from the side of the low beam headlights, you can take out the reverse light bulb housing by disconnecting the electrical connector and the bulb holder, as shown in the video. At this point, replace the bulb with a new one and then reassemble everything!

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
